yes, ash.


Our northern white ash in this area have black branch tips when dormant and leaf color is dark shade of red not a bright red in fall.

White Ash trees when cut into lumber remind me a lot of red oak.  In Wisconsin it is one of the first trees to change color in the fall and its leaves can go through a wide range of shades of yellow, orange, and red. Unfortunately, it is being hit with the EAB which is a HUGE problem for the species.

I hope I never see the pest, I have been managing for it on my woodlot with my brushing activities. And the moose generally leave it alone except the leaves they strip off.
