And if the 2 is not a typo it could be a TM'd cultivar name.

'White spire' birch had become a "polluted cultivar" from nurseries doing seed propigation. This was causing a reduction it tne tolerance of resistance it was cultivated for. SO they came out with 'White Spire Sr. TM'. so one purchasing will know that it is a true clone of the resistant tree found at the arboretum in Mad. WI.

The Raywood Ash is a cultivar that originated in the Raywood Gardens near Adelaide, Australia. The leaves are dark green and serrated,and they turn to a plum purple color in fall. Raywoods are often seen as street trees, and their fall color can certainly enhance a street.

Fraxinus oxycarpa ‘Raywood’

Raywood Ash, Claret Ash FRAKS-i-nus oks-i-KAR-pa

Deciduous tree, 30-40(80) ft [9-12(24) m], narrow when young. Leaves opposite, but often whorled at ends of branches, pinnately compound, 7-9 narrow leaflets, each 4-6.5 cm long, clean-looking, dark geen, good fall color (rich red-purple). Few seed produced.

Sun, some drought tolerance. Prone to toppling.

Hardy to USDA Zone 5

Species native to southeastern Europe, Asia Minor, and the Caucasus. F. oxycapa is closely allied with F. angustifolia, and some authorities list is as a subspecies (F. angustifolia subsp. oxycarpa).

‘Raywood’ was selected in Australia in about 1910, and in the British nursery trade by 1928. It was not introduced into North America until about 1956, and not in largescale commerce until about 1979 (Jacobson, 1996).

'Flame' and 'Dr. Pirone' are very similar, if not identical.
