A north american native tree growing to around 70 feet. Leaves are opposite pinnate (feather-like), dark green on the top and lighter on the bottom. They can be distinguished from green ash by their relative lack of hair. Small, wind-pollinated flowers turn into clusters of dangling samaras (seedpods) in July. Foliage turns maroon/dark reddish green in the fall. White ash is a pioneer species, establishing itself on fertile, abandoned fields. In an urban environment, they are suitable as a yard, street or roadside tree.
