American ash Autumn Purple
Fraxinus americana Autumn PurpleAbout this product
Autumn Purple Ash is a popular choice for municipal planting in the United States, known for its vibrant autumn colors and resilient branch structure, which outperforms the issues seen in Fraxinus 'Raywood.' This variety of White Ash, introduced to the UK in 1724, is especially admired for its striking reddish-purple foliage in autumn.
This fast-growing tree has a conical shape and dark green leaves that transform into deep red-purple tones in autumn before dropping. As an Ash, it’s exceptionally hardy, thriving on compacted or disturbed soils and withstanding challenging urban environments. In its youth, the trunk appears as a smooth dark green. It’s ideal for large gardens, central reservations, and wide verges.
Mature height: 12-17m
