This is a spectacularly beautiful autumn foliage tree. It grows in temperate climates up to 15m high with a straight trunk and a rounded form. As a street tree it can cope with compacted soil. It offers a terrific autumn display, since the leaves turn crimson in fall. Claret ash trees accept sandy, loamy or clay soil. Plant trees in full sun for fastest growth.
