Report an issue with this species
Fraxinus angustifolia, often considered closely related to Fraxinus oxicarpa, is a deciduous tree characterized by its elegant, slender branches and a dense, rounded canopy. This fast-growing species requires full sunlight and frost protection. While native to central-southern Europe and northwest Africa, it has become invasive in parts of southern Australia, making careful urban planting considerations necessary.
