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. jlc |

Green Ash and High Temps
I'm looking to put an Ash tree into my yard. I live in New Mexico where the
summers are hot, dry, and sometimes windy. I don't know what part of NM you are in, but ash trees do very well here in Denver. We also have hot (90-100 degrees), dry, sometimes windy summers. sed5555 |

Cubby:
I ran the grounds Dept. for a college in Santa Fe for a time, and we had numerous Fraxinus pennsylvannica on campus and in town. They do OK, but will scorch in excessively hot, dry summers. However, I rarely thought of this as a real problem as the species is pretty tough. More importantly they seem to be able to handle the concrete that passes for soil in the area. I would not shy away from the species, especially if you are in a position to water it occasionally. I cannot speak to the heat resistance of the cultivars you mentioned. Good luck... -- Mike LaMana, MS Heartwood Consulting Services, LLC Toms River, NJ www.HeartwoodConsulting.net "James "Cubby" Culbertson" wrote in message ...

Mike,
Thanks a million for the inputs. The nursery that carries these said their primary client is the city of Albuquerque. Now usually that would be enough for me except, well this is Albuquerque we're talking about. Anyway, your vote of confidence gives me reason to give this tree a chance. I will be able to water regularly so that may just help. I just need to figure out how close I can plant them now as I want to put two trees in a fairly small area. Thanks much for the help!!!! cc "Mike LaMana" fake@MikeatHeartwoodConsultingdotnet wrote in message ...

Out of curiosity...who is the nursery you are using out there. I used to buy some (expensive) stuff from Salman / Santa Fe greenhouses in town, and there was another guy way down at the base of town just north of the interstate that sold volume. This fellow would cut great deals to us when buying in quant., so I think there is plenty of wiggle room in whatever pricing he gives out. He also used to sell a bunch of (poorly) wild-dug plants.

Hiya Mike,
This is a place in Algodones actually called Tannenbaum's. Here's their website: nmtrees.com (no www in front). They have a pricelist there too. I'm planning on getting most of my xeriscape stuff from Salman. Their not cheap but nobody seems to have the selection they do, in terms of xerics.
