At Flowing Well Tree Farm, we take pride in growing trees that can handle the Southeast’s unique soils, heat, and weather conditions. One versatile native that continues to be a favorite among landowners, municipalities, and landscapers is the Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica). Known for its fast growth, hardiness, and adaptability, this tree is an excellent option for anyone seeking quick shade and reliable performance.

What is Green Ash?

Green Ash is a deciduous hardwood tree native to much of North America. It grows rapidly, often reaching 50–70 feet in height with a broad, rounded canopy that provides excellent shade. Its compound leaves turn a beautiful yellow in fall, adding seasonal interest to your landscape.

Green Ash is often used in large-scale plantings, such as windbreaks, parks, and streetscapes, but it also makes a great shade tree for residential yards.

Growing Zones

USDA Zones: 3–9

Performs well across the Southeast, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, and Texas.
