Green ash is a fast-growing deciduous shade tree that adapts well to a wide range of soil conditions, including wet and occasionally flooded sites. Young trees benefit from regular watering and mulching, but established specimens are largely self-sufficient. Be aware that Green ash is highly susceptible to the invasive emerald ash borer, so consult local extension services about preventive treatments in affected regions.
