SINGLEAF ASH (Frazinus anomala)
VELVET ASH (Fraxinum velutina)
Other names: Ash

POOR

These shrub-like trees are dound in the Rocky Mountain Region from Utah and Wyoming to Arizona and New Mexico. They seldom reach tree size, are hardy in adverse climatic conditions but are relatively short lived and decay quickly when dead. The singleleaf ash prefers dry hill sides whereas the velvet ash prefers the stream bottoms and canyons. 

There is no report of recovery of an original bearing tree of these species of ash. 

Not recommended to be used for a bearing tree because of small size and rapid decay.
