The Majestic Ash Tree (Fraxinus oxycarpa 'Majestic') is a popular shade tree prized for its impressive size, rapid growth, and graceful, upright oval form. Its dense canopy features glossy, dark green leaves that provide excellent summer shade and turn vibrant yellow in the fall, adding seasonal beauty to any landscape. Known for its strong structure and adaptability, the Majestic Ash is often used in parks, large yards, and urban settings where shade and visual appeal are desired. Its clean, symmetrical shape makes it a standout specimen tree.
Thriving in USDA Zones 4 through 9, the Majestic Ash grows well in full sun and tolerates a variety of soil types, including clay and urban conditions. It is moderately drought-tolerant once established and adapts well to different environments. While ash trees in general have faced challenges from pests like the emerald ash borer, the Majestic Ash is appreciated for its vigor and overall resilience. With its fast growth, sturdy wood, and striking appearance, this tree is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable, attractive shade tree.
