Shade - Ash - Arizona

Arizona Ash is a fantastic, tough desert shade tree. Canopy forms a round shape as they mature. These do well in Phoenix’s long, hot summers. However, it grows to become a large tree. Arizona ash is relatively drought-tolerant but performs best with regular water during hot, dry weather. This tree provides great shade in summer, with bright golden-yellow leaves in fall or early winter.
