How to Identify an Ash Tree
There are many species of ash trees throughout the world. In fact, there are over 60 different varieties of ash. Identifying ash trees is easy if you know what to look for.
There are two main types of ash trees: simple and compound. Simple trees are one-piece leaves, while compound leaf trees have more than one leaflet per leaf.
Types of Ash Tree
There are several species of ash, but the majority grow to about 50 to 80 feet in height. They are commonly used as lawn trees but also are useful in urban environments.

Young ash trees have a light gray bark and smooth leaves. As the tree grows older, the bark becomes rougher. The leaves of ash trees typically have 5-11 leaflets on each leaf.
The Leaves of an Ash Tree
Leaves of an ash tree are pinnately compound, meaning that the leaflets are arranged in rows on opposite sides of the stem. Ash trees usually have 5-9 leaflets per leaf, with the terminal leaflet being an exception.
Ash leaves respond to light. Usually, the top layer of an ash leaf is a rich green color. During the fall, the leaflets turn yellow or brown.
Flowers
Another characteristic of ash trees is their flowers. Ash flowers bloom before the leaves appear in the spring. These flowers attract night-flying insects.
Where Ash Trees are Common
Ash trees can be easily identified as they are commonly found in a wide variety of North American forests. Their hearty and graceful form makes them an essential part of the forest ecosystem.
