Ash ? A Forgotten Landscape Tree For Private Gardens
When choosing a landscape tree for your garden, don’t focus too much on showy blooms or edible and decorative fruit. The Ash has none of these, but can be one of the most beautiful additions to your private landscape.
While Ashes are quite commonly planted in public parks and gardens, and even as street trees in some places, they are rarely seen in private gardens. Perhaps many homeowners feel the tree is a bit “common?, or lacking in showy flowers and edible or decorative fruit. This is a pity because in terms of natural shape and form, ashes can be amongst the most beautiful of landscape trees available to gardeners. Their neat, oval shape is very distinctive and virtually unique.
