Slow growing but reliable, the Arizona Ash tree makes a great tree for our landscape. Once established, the ash tree will need a weekly watering. I have 1 on the property that is on the southern exposure of our home. Every year it gets bushier and taller. This tree is popular around town and can be seen in many different locations. It's deciduous and looks absolutely amazing in fall. The above pic is from our tree here at El Presidio. Some people absolutely hate this tree, but I have to admit that I am glad I put this green gem into our gardens. When the wind blows through the leaves, it takes me back to summer days in Wisconsin. It is susceptible to Texas Root Rot so if you know that your garden has had issues with this in the past; don't plant this tree in that area. There is a posting on this from last year. Just type in "Texas Root Rot" into the search engine for more information. Some states, like New Mexico and Texas, report issues with borers destroying trees. While that isn't an issue for Tucson, the Texas Root Rot is. Watch your watering during the summer monsoon months. It's a great reliable tree to have around your property and I think if you want a little more green than the Mesquite or Palo Verde trees provide then try this tree out. Another more popular variety that sells out quickly is the Fan Tex Ash tree which is also similiar to the Arizona Ash. We don't have this tree on the property, but I know that this variety sells quickly at the garden centers so if you are thinking about planting one and see it........:)
Tomorrow I take a break from the tree postings and have a special announcement to make. Many of you might be wondering when I'll get back to my random adventures around the garden.....soon. Very soon. This journal I've collected over this last year is extensive and needs to be recorded as part of my docent duties for Tucson gardeners. So tomorrow, I'll take a breather and share some thoughts. Until then......
