The Ash hedge (
Fraxinus excelsior) is a species of Fraxinus which is native to most of Europe. Fraxinus is the classical Latin name for an Ash tree and Excelsior means 'taller', indicating that this species is one of the tallest Ashes. The Ash hedge is a very hardy and fast growing native deciduous plant with wide spreading surface roots, which thrives in any soil type and appears at its best in winter. Ash hedging offers stunning green foliage which turns to a beautiful yellow in the autumn months. After the leaves have fallen, the seed stays behind to act as a valuable food source for birds.
