Comments:
Flowers are not very showy and open before leaves appear. This ash is readily distinguished from others in that it has black buds. Male and female flowers can occur on the same tree, but a tree can produce just one kind one year and the other the next. Its timber is valuable in the making a wide variety of tools, sports equipment, and furniture. Can tolerate droughty soils.
