Complete Product Information for Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) 30/40cm Bare Root 2yr old (1+1) pack of 25
The Ash hedge (Fraxinus excelsior) is a species of Fraxinus 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. It is a very hardy and fast growing native deciduous plant with wide spreading surface roots, which appears its best in winter.

The Ash hedge has dark green leaves and large pendent fruit clusters in autumn. The leaves that appear in spring are delicate leaflets usually with nine to eleven oval leaflets, arrange in pairs with an odd one at the end. From the black woolly buds, male or female flowers develop. This sometimes occurs on the same plant, however some plants which are male one year are female the next year. The female plants develop into fruits often called “ash keys” that are stiff sprays of bunches of keys.

It is particularly good in coastal positions, but also damp shade or full sun. Due to its fast growth it can be used to form an effective windbreak to protect other plants and therefore is wind tolerant. The Ash hedge thrives in all soil conditions, in particular deep lime- rich and moist soils. It needs a rich, fertile soil, acid or neutral or just mildly alkaline. It is advisable not to plant Ash in a hedge as it will give rise to gaps forming in the hedge, due to the large size of its foliage.

Bare root hedging is a very low cost way of planting a hedge, but is only available to buy and plant when dormant (November-March). Orders ahead of 1st November will be stored to guarantee an early delivery date.

The Ashe hedge has a high conservation value; it supports 41 species of insects and several birds. The fruit clusters provide good bird food in spring. Tree guards can be used as Ash as it is prone to stock and rabbit damage. It is pollution tolerant, and therefore is a good urban dweller.
