Overview

The Oregon Ash, Fraxinus latifolia, is a stately deciduous tree native to the Pacific Northwest. Typically reaching 50-80 feet tall, with a 20-30 foot canopy spread, it thrives in moist, well-drained soils. Its broad, pinnately compound leaves turn yellow in fall, and winged seeds furnish food for wildlife. Ideal for larger landscapes, it adds vertical structure and seasonal interest. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9, it requires minimal maintenance once established.
