Carolina Ash Fraxinus caroliniana 20 Seeds

Fraxinus caroliniana, commonly known as pop ash or Carolina ash, is a deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States, particularly thriving in swampy, seasonally flooded habitats such as wetlands, riverbanks, and cypress domes. Typically reaching heights of 30 to 50 feet, this ash species is well adapted to saturated soils and fluctuating water levels, often forming part of the canopy in freshwater swamps. It features compound leaves with 5 to 9 leaflets and produces small, inconspicuous flowers in early spring, followed by winged samaras that aid in wind dispersal. The light gray bark and open crown give it a distinctive appearance in wetland environments. Fraxinus caroliniana plays an important ecological role by stabilizing soils and providing habitat for wildlife, including birds and amphibians. Its ability to thrive in waterlogged conditions makes it a key component of swamp forest ecosystems across the Gulf Coast and southern Atlantic regions.   Growing Instructions   Th
