A fast growing ash of medium height and with a dense, upright, oval and relatively compact habit. It tolerates drier soils than Common Ash and its dark green leaves turn wine red in the autumn. This is a good choice for avenue and street plantings, and it bears soil compaction well.

It thrives in most soils and will tolerate windswept, exposed sites, coastal locations and air pollution.

Mature height: 10-15m
