Shade - Shamel Ash

Shamel Ash is the fastest growing Ash tree.  This is a large tree not meant for small residential lots.  The tree is briefly deciduous to mostly evergreen tree (depending on winter cold in Phoenix).  It has a upright and rounded growth habit.  This size is potentially massive and stout.  Foliage is large pinnately-compound green leaves, mostly 7, sometimes 9, leaflets per leaf.  Leaflets are ovate to lanceolate with serrate, sometimes revolute margins, trunk and branches smooth when young becoming slightly rough with age; medium to medium coarse texture.  This is a great shade tree for our desert climate!
