The Yellow Ash Tree is a rare species native to small regions of the southeast US. It is a low maintenance and disease-free tree. The tree becomes highly ornamental in spring, adorned with 12–14 inch long drooping panicles of white flowers that are fragrant and attract birds, bees, and butterflies. In autumn, the flowers develop into large, attractive seed pods which contrast beautifully against the bright yellow fall foliage.
