Ash

Golden  Ash – Fraxinus  Jespidea

The Golden Ash is a tree with rich green leaves in summer, changing to soft golden yellow in late autumn. After shedding its golden folage, it will then make an outstanding feature in the winter landscape. It’s bright yellow branches and twigs with black buds form a wonderful contrast to a winter evening sky. The golden ash, if planted in front of an evergreen hedge or pine trees will give excellent contrast also.

In time your golden ash will develop into a tree of many colour shades, with it’s aging bark containing a fusion of rich purple and brown markings.

It can be planted in almost any soil type as an individual specimen, or in a grove with other trees. It is both hardy and fast growing and will tolerate some exposure. This tree can be pruned and re-shaped at any time in its life.
