Shade Trees
American Mountain Ash
Description
The American mountain ash is a small shade tree native to northeastern North America. It features a narrow, rounded crown and smooth, grey bark that becomes scaly as it ages. It has arched, dark green compound leaves divided into 11–17 sharply toothed leaflets. They turn vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and reddish purple in the fall. This variety produces dense clusters of tiny white flowers in late spring. These develop into bright orange red, berry like fruit that ripen in late summer and often persist through winter, providing a critical food source for birds. Plant in full sun for maximum density and growth.
