Fraxinus ornus has a spreading oval to round, irregular crown. Mature specimen can attain a height of 15 m, but usually they do not grow higher than circa 10 m. The grey bark is smooth. The odd-pinnate leaf is blue green to mat green, becomes 20 - 25 cm and consists of 7 leaflets that have a finely serrated margin. In contrast with F. excelsior F. ornus has brown to purplish, velvety grey leaf buds. Inflorescence shows white to creamy-white very fragrant flowers in conspicuous, upright and terminal panicles. These appear after the leaf in May/June. F. ornus forms winged nuts of circa 3 cm, which appear in clusters. The tree can be used as a park tree and is suitable for industrial estates. Tolerates drier, calcareous soils. Well resistant to wind.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
