Fraxinus Raywood

Fraxinus angustifolia Raywood, commonly known as Claret Ash, is a stunning deciduous tree admired for its vibrant autumn foliage. In spring and summer, it showcases glossy, bright green leaves that turn a spectacular claret plum-red over an extended period from late summer until well into winter, adding a dramatic splash of color to any landscape.

Claret Ash is perfect for use as a shade tree or as a feature tree in larger gardens and is also excellent as an avenue, driveway or street tree. It thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, although it can tolerate a range of soil types. This tree is well-suited to various garden styles, including formal, contemporary, and woodland gardens. Its upright growth habit and attractive foliage make it a versatile addition to the garden.

For optimal growth, plant Fraxinus angustifolia Raywood with a spacing of about 8 meters apart. It requires regular watering during the establishment period but becomes quite drought-tolerant once established. This tree is relatively low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a beautiful and resilient tree.

Mature Size: 15m tall and 9m wide.
