Default Green Ash and High Temps

Hiya,
I've found a local source for some Ash trees that are much larger than the
typical nursery offerings and at what I think is a reasonable price. They
have several varieties but I have a concern on one of them. I'm looking to
put an Ash tree into my yard. They carry the plain Ash, (Pennsylvanica
Fraxinus I believe). I live in New Mexico where the summers are hot, dry,
and sometimes windy. I have heard that the pennsylvanica doesn't handle
heat well and will actually burn in hot temps/wind. Unfortunately, they
don't carry Raywoods, Marshall's, etc... Anyone have any inputs on whether
the Green Ash would work well in my enviro?

Thanks much.
