Care Guide for Prickly ash

Every 2-3 weeks
Water
Water: Prickly ash prefers a climate with intermittent rainfall and shows moderate drought tolerance. Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry between watering. Best suited for outdoor conditions, it requires well-draining soil to avoid root rot, especially during the growth season.
Propagation: Prickly ash propagates primarily through seeds and cuttings. Seed propagation involves stratification, sowing in a bright spot, and moist soil, while cuttings require semi-hardwood cuttings. Both methods necessitate moderate temperatures and careful handling due to prickly ash's spiny nature.
