green ash
Common American shade
Green ash is a North American hardwood tree, one of the most widely distributed ash species on the continent.
It tolerates a range of soils and climates, making it popular for urban landscaping and windbreaks.
The wood is used for tool handles, furniture, and baseball bats.
Green ash populations have been devastated by the invasive emerald ash borer beetle since the early 2000s.
