Ash Trees - Fraxinus excelsior

Common Ash is a tremendously hardy and fast growing native deciduous tree that will succeed in almost any soil or position.

These Ash trees are delivered in the largest sizes, called standards.
You can also buy smaller & cheaper Ash saplings.

Ash carries deep green foliage that turns a lovely yellow in the autumn before falling at the first frost. The winged seedwhich often remain on the tree after the leaves have fallen are a valuable food source for birds.

Ash is often grown for its timber, which is very straight grained, and unquestionably makes the best firewood.
To 30m.

You can buy smaller, "whip" sized plants here - ash tree saplings.Please watch our tree planting video for full planting instructions.

How Standard Trees are Measured:
All the plants in the ornamental trees section are graded as standards, which means that they are measured by their girth in centimetres 1 metre above ground level (basically, their trunk's waist measurement). They aren't measured by their height, which will vary.

So, a 6/8 standard has a trunk with a circumference of 6-8 centimetres and an 8/10 standard has a trunk 8-10 centimetres around.

This measurement makes no difference to the tree's final height. Most standards are between 2 - 3.5 metres tall, but this is just an average. We cannot tell you how tall your trees will be before we deliver them.
