Fraxinus pennsylvanica Cimmzam Details

Fraxinus pennsylvanica Cimmzam is a variety of Ash grown for its rich and colourful foliage, and fantastic form. This deciduous tree grows quickly and produces dark green leaves which develop yellow, orange, and red tones in autumn before falling.

It is tolerant of frost, some wind, dry periods, cool climates, and a wide range of soil types, barring extreme wet and dry. The Plant Company advises protecting the tree while it is establishing through staking and watering which will result in a better structured tree. Fraxinus pennsylvanica Cimmzam is commonly grown as a specimen in parks or large gardens, or used in avenue and street plantings. It is well suited to lining a driveway or using to border an entrance.
