Bark: brown with deep furrows and narrow interlacing ridges, often appearing diamond-shaped
Fruit: green winged seed (samara), turning brown when mature, 1-2" (2.5-5 cm) in length, mostly round-ended, sometimes notched, in clusters, frequently remaining on tree into winter

Origin/Age: native, 75-100 years

Stan’s Notes: By far the most widespread of all Michigan ash trees, found throughout the state. Also called Red Ash because it was once thought that the Green Ash and Red Ash trees were separate species. Now considered one species. Not as water tolerant as the Black Ash (pg. 175), but able to survive with its roots under water for several weeks early in spring. Frequently has a large unattractive growth (insect gall) at ends of small branches that persists on the tree throughout the year. The strong white-colored wood is used to make baseball bats, tennis racquets, skis and snowshoes.
