Fan Tex Ash, Fraxinus velutina 'Fan Tex,' is a seedless Arizona Ash with superior tolerance to heat and arid conditions so that they can thrive in our area! These Ash trees are native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where they naturally inhabit stream sides or low pockets in canyons, and we like to use them as a deciduous shade tree that lets the warmth of the sun in during winter and blocks the sun during the warm summer months. These are also beautiful street trees with glossy green leaves that turn to shades of yellow and gold in the fall! One thing that almost everyone can agree on is that this cultivar creates a lush canopy even in adverse conditions.

This Fan Tex Ash growth rate is fast, and they have a tolerance for pollution so that they are an excellent choice for urban areas. These Ash trees thrive in a spot that gets plenty of full sun exposure! Plus, once established, they are drought tolerant with little to moderate watering needs. They can tolerate all kinds of soil conditions including acidic and alkaline as well as clay, loam, and sandy soil types.
