Green Ash
Fraxinus pennsylvanica

Green Ash is moderately tolerant of shade, lives about 100 to 150 years and reaches an average height of 30 to 60 feet.  It prefers well -drained to moderately well-drained soils.  The wildlife value is fair, and the growth rate is moderate.  It is a very adaptable tree, and an excellent choice for windbreaks/shelterbelts.  It is highly susceptible to deer browse, and protective measures should be taken in areas of high deer population.
