Shade - Raywood Ash

Raywood Ash is a deciduous shade tree that is relatively diminutive in width compared with other Phoenix ash trees. It's a good tree for greenery.  Grows up to 30-40ft in height.  This tree's form is especially narrow and upright when young with upright extending branches. With age, it becomes somewhat more spreading.  Trunk mostly smooth and light gray especially when young.  Dark green leaves of this ash are oppositely arranged, but are sometimes whorled at the ends of branches, pinnately compound.  Strong red/burgundy fall color mostly in December in Phoenix.  Gorgeous!

Scientific name:  Fraxinus raywood
