Autumn Tree of the Week

Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica)

You have to look quickly in September too see the colors of this tree. Green ash is one of the first trees to change color and drop its leaves in autumn.

Green Ash is named for the color of its leaves--green on both sides of the leaf, and because its autumn coloration has a lot of green in it. Fall color is usually green-yellow, but can be golden-yellow in good years.
