White Ash

TN native.  Common Ash tree with an original range that included every eastern state.  Has a compound leaf containing 5 to 9 elliptical leaflets which may turn a nice yellow, orange, or dark reddish in  Fall.  The wood is tough and hard and not decay resistant.  A novice tree person may confuse hickory leaves with ash.  All ash species are presently being watched closely due to a threat of being killed by a disease carried by the Emerald Ash Borer.
