RE: Claret Ash - for those with a big Garden

in #fraxinus7 years ago

Really looking wonderful and amazing plant and colourful too.Deciduous vigorous spreading tree with a symmetrical crown (10m x 7m). Select form of F.oxycarpa developed in Australia from South Eastern Europe and Asia Minor. Lacy pinnate compound leaves occurring in whorls along the branches turning purple red in autumn. Useful as a specimen or shade tree. Frost tolerant. *Known to damage underground services, do not plant within 6 metres of any wastewater pipe.

You can also grow plenty of other plants underneath this tree, as they will get sunlight in winter when the tree is dormant. Claret Ash is frost tolerant once established and it's deep root system will sustain the tree through dry periods. It is best suited for temperate and cooler climates . I took these photos in Narrabri ( Northern NSW, Australia ).

The tree grows to around 15–20 m (49–66 ft) and has dark green leaves that turn to a dark claret red in the autumn. The bark of the tree is notably smoother than the Caucasian Ash, which is quite apparent on those trees grafted on Caucasian Ash stock. In Australia and the United States a decline or dieback in some older trees has been observed which has been attributed to a combination of environmental stress and the presence of the fungus .

Collected from net.
Thanks to share and known from you another amazing plant.
