Fraxinus quadrangulata (
Blue Ash) is a species of
fraxinus native primarily to the
Midwestern United States, as well as the
Bluegrass region of Kentucky and the
Nashville Basin region of Tennessee. Isolated populations exist in Alabama, Southern Ontario, and small sections of the Appalachian Mountains. It is typically found over calcareous substrates such as
limestone, growing on limestone slopes and in moist valley soils, at elevations of 120-600 m.
It is a medium-sized
deciduous tree typically reaching a height of 10–25 m with a trunk 50–100 cm diameter. The twigs typically have four corky ridges, a distinctive feature giving them a square appearance (in cross-section), hence the species name,
quadrangulata, meaning four-angled. The winter buds are reddish-brown. The
leaves are 20–38 cm long, with 5–11 (most often 7) leaflets, the leaflets 7–13 cm long and 2.5–5 cm broad, with a coarsely serrated margin and short but distinct
petiolules. The
flowers are small and purplish, produced in the early spring before the leaves appear. The
fruit is a
samara 2.5–5 cm long and 6–12 mm broad, including the wing.
[
The common name is because early European settlers made blue dye from the inner bark.][Further Information]
