| Features: |
Deep yellow autumn colour |
| Applications: |
Speciment tree for lawns, parks and gardens |
| Description |
A medium-sized tree that often matures to a rounded shape almost as wide as it is tall, the Golden Ash has long been a favourite choice to bring reliable colour to any park or garden throughout the year. Foliage that is pale yellow or pale green through spring and summer turns to a deep yellow in autumn, often with yellow bark and branchlets. Golden Ash are also seen as lawn trees. With a moderate tolerance to a wide range of soils and climatic conditions, the Golden Ash will thrive best in moist sites in cooler climates. |
