Report an issue with this species

Fraxinus mandshurica is a tall, deciduous tree with opposite compound leaves. It is known for its strong, durable wood and attractive yellow-orange to purplish fall foliage, making it widely used in landscaping and for making furniture. Ash whitefly infests many ash trees, so checking for a history of infestation in the planting location is advised.
