Bark and leaf. It is the most widely distributed of all the American ashes; its range centers on the midwestern U.S. and Great Plains. Seedlings of the tree have a high tolerance to water logging [12] which may explain why the natural habitat of green ash is almost exclusively stream sides and bottomlands.
Pumpkin ash is a member of the olive family and is placed in section Melioides of the genus Fraxinus. [7]Historically, it was frequently called Fraxinus tomentosa Michx., but since Michaux used this name interchangeably with the species now known as green ash (F. pennsylvanica), the name Fraxinus profunda, which was applied by Benjamin Franklin Bush in 1901, was given precedence.

Oregon ash sprouts vigorously from cut stumps or fire-killed trees. Young trees typically grow vigorously for their first 60 years, with their growth slowing considerably in the following years. [4] This particular species of ash is well adapted to soggy ground due to its moderately shallow, but extensive and wide-spreading root system.
The rough bark is thin and flaky on younger trees but, with age, it becomes thick, dark grey to black, and furrowed. Young trees have egg-shaped to lance-shaped or curved, bluish green to glaucous leaves that are 60–170 mm (2.4–6.7 in) long and 16–75 mm (0.63–2.95 in) wide.
Fraxinus ornus is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 15–25 m (49–82 ft) tall with a trunk up to 1 m diameter. The bark is dark grey, remaining smooth even on old trees. The buds are pale pinkish-brown to grey-brown, with a dense covering of short grey hairs.
