Fraxinus pennsylvanica seed
LATIN NAME: FRAXINUS PENNSYLVANICA
COMMON NAME: Green Ash
The green ash keys the tall, upright, deciduous tree with the opposite, pinnate leaves of the seven to nine narrow, pointed leaflets and the small, green-purple flowers that open in the tight clusters through the early spring, the clusters of the narrow, winged samaras, the keys, following and ripening through the autumn, each key hanging in the bunches and spinning down on the wind. The trunk rises straight and the crown opens into the broad, rounded form. It stands the cold, the wet ground and the city air well, and it likes the sun, and the deep, moist soil.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The winged samaras of the green ash give it a long place in the research on the adaptable street trees of the olive family, and the pennsylvanica species appears in the studies of the wet-ground growth and the wind dispersal. The work looks at the way the keys spin down on the wind, the tough, elastic timber, and the seed biology. The arborists note the easy, fast growth, and the growers of the hardy shade and street trees keep the species in their catalogues.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
In the park, the avenue and the wet garden, the green ash keys the autumn branches with the winged fruits. The straight trunk gives the broad, cool shade, the timber has served the tool handles, the furniture and the sports equipment for the ages, and the keys feed the birds and the small animals. It lines the streets and the riverbanks and thrives in the deep, moist, sunny ground. Adaptable, tough and wind-keyed.
To grow the Green Ash from seed, sow the fresh keys into the moist, gritty drills of the open bed in the autumn, then cover them lightly, keep the seedbed moist, and the young trees appear in the spring.
Keep the seedbed gently watered, and give the young trees the open spot. The winged keys come in a few seasons. Settle the young trees in the deep, moist ground, and the winged keys will spin over the autumn.
