Noted for its exceptionally striking fall foliage, Fraxinus angustifolia ‘Raywood’ (Claret Ash) is a magnificent, fine-textured, deciduous tree with a straight trunk and a compact, elegant crown. Upright or oval when young, the canopy becomes full and rounded with age. The foliage of pinnate, lustrous, dark green leaves with lanceolate leaflets, creates a light shade beneath the tree. The leaves turn rich shades of red to purple in the fall before dropping to the ground. In spring, its inconspicuous flowers do not produce seeds. Often known as the Claret Ash, Raywood is a vigorous medium-sized tree with outstanding ornamental features. It makes a splendid accent tree in the landscape.
