Fraxinus angustifolia ‘Raywood’ is a vigorous medium-sized deciduous tree with a compact, elegant habit. The leaves are pinnate, with dark green lanceolate leaflets turning red-purple in autumn. Fraxinus angustifolia ‘Raywood’s’ flowers are inconspicuous.
Unfortunately we are currently unable to import Ash trees due to ash dieback disease. The disease is caused by the fungus Chalara fraxinea and leads to leaf loss and for some death. Ash dieback is now present in most parts of England, although the severity of the disease varies locally. The Arboricultural Association has compiled this useful guide please follow the link for more information.
