Is this tree Ash?
I have several young trees on part of our land that are a little bit of a puzzle to me. I believe them to be young White Ash trees but the thing that throws me is the leaf size. I know they are not Dogwood or Maple, Horsechestnut, Paulownia or Box Elder.
Other Ash trees on our place have much smaller leaves than these.
These trees have;
1. Furrowed bark on the lower half running to smoother towards the upper portions.
2. Opposite limbs, twigs and leaves
3. Short leaf stems, apparently smooth twigs & leaf stems
All of this points me toward White Ash with leaf size being odd to me.
What do you fellows think? It's a head scratcher for me.
The whole tree
Twigs are opposite
Limbs are opposite
Irregularly toothed leaf edges
Opposite leaves with short leaf stems. These leaves are quite a bit larger than other Ash trees here.
That's all I know.
Thanks for your replies, Frank/aka Clawmute
