Arizona Ash

A fast-growing perennial deciduous shade tree native to Arizona & parts of Southwestern New Mexico. The "velvet" is a gray fuzz that covers the young twigs and leaves. Young trees are pyramidal, but the shape becomes more rounded and open as mature height is reached. This is an especially useful shade tree where summers are long, hot, and dry, and where soils are alkaline. It is the species (with its varieties) used most in desert areas, commonly planted as a shade & street tree.

Grows approximately 45 feet tall and 40 feet wide

Green Ash

The somewhat irregularly-shaped tree when young becoming an oval with age, Green Ash will reach a height of about 60 feet with a spread of 45 feet. Upright main branches bear twigs which droop toward the ground then bend upward at their tips much like Basswood. This usually does not interfere with traffic flow beneath the tree since branches do not droop to the ground. The glossy dark green foliage will turn yellow in the fall, but color is often muted in the south. There is a good seed-set annually on female trees which are used by many birds but some consider the seeds to be messy. This fast growing tree will adapt to many different landscape conditions and can be grown on wet or dry sites, preferring moist. Trees in USDA hardiness zones 8 and 9 may grow 6 to 10 feet in one year when they are young and irrigated.
