Manchurian ash - Fraxinus mandshurica (Care, Characteristics, Distribution, Images)

Manchurian ash

Manchurian ash is a deciduous tree notable for its tall stature, reaching up to 30 meters, and its pinnate leaves which turn a vivid yellow in autumn. Its stout trunk supports a broad crown, with bark that develops deep furrows with age. The winged seeds, borne in clusters, facilitate wind dispersal, which, along with its tolerance to cold climates, contributes to its resilience in temperate forests of Northeast Asia.

Soil Type

Water: Manchurian ash prefers a woodland-like environment with moderate moisture. It requires consistent but not excessive watering, ideally every two weeks. Primarily grown outdoors, manchurian ash thrives in temperate climates where natural rainfall supports its water needs during growth.

Fertilize: Manchurian ash thrives with balanced nutrition fertilizer in spring and high nitrogen every 4-6 weeks during growth. Adjust frequency in fall. Follow label rates to avoid root burn and incorporate into moist soil, watering thoroughly afterward for optimal results.

Pruning: Manchurian ash thrives with early spring pruning to remove dead or diseased branches and promote healthy structure. Thinning crowded areas improves airflow and sunlight exposure. Clean cuts above buds foster robust growth and reduce pest risks, enhancing the tree's aesthetic and vitality.

Propagation: To propagate manchurian ash, stratify fresh seeds in cold for a couple of months. Plant in well-draining soil with moisture. Germination is slow, requiring patience. After emergence, provide ample light and protect seedlings from extreme conditions until they are ready for transplantation.
