About this tree

Texas Ash brings reliable shade and easygoing charm to yards that sizzle, thriving in USDA zones 7 to 9 with excellent drought and heat tolerance. Reaching about 15 to 30 feet tall and 15 to 25 feet wide, it matures at a moderate pace into a well-balanced presence that suits front lawns, patios, and curbside plantings. Early spring blooms in March signal the season’s start, while deer resistance keeps maintenance low. Choose it as a handsome street tree or a standout specimen that earns its place.

Full planting & care

Planting+

Choose a spot with full sun or partial sun and clay, loamy, rocky, well drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, set the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the ground, backfill, and water in well. Space about 20 ft. from other plants.

Watering+

Water deeply about once a week while it establishes, then ease off as roots take hold.

Fertilizing+

Feed in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. A second light feeding in early summer supports vigorous growth. Avoid fertilizing late in the season.

Pruning+

Prune in late winter while dormant to remove any dead or crossing branches and to shape. Minimal pruning is needed otherwise.
