Grow one of North America's most valuable and recognizable hardwood trees with White Ash Tree Seeds. Known for its strong, durable wood and attractive branching structure, White Ash is a fast-growing deciduous tree that provides excellent shade, beautiful golden-purple fall color, and valuable wildlife habitat. Commonly found throughout eastern North America, White Ash is an excellent choice for reforestation projects, windbreaks, large landscapes, parks, and naturalized areas.
White Ash trees develop a tall, straight trunk with a broad, rounded canopy that offers cooling shade during the summer months. Mature trees can reach heights of 50 to 80 feet, making them a popular choice for property borders, shade planting, and timber production. Their winged seeds, known as samaras, are also an important food source for birds and small mammals.
White Ash seeds require a warm stratification period followed by a cold stratification period to help break dormancy and encourage successful germination. With proper preparation, these seeds can develop into hardy, long-lived trees that enhance landscapes for generations.
