Fraxinus ornus, the Manna Ash, is a beautiful ornamental tree prized for its fragrant white flower clusters in spring. Plant it in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil and water regularly until established, after which it is fairly drought-resilient. It is a low-maintenance, long-lived tree that attracts pollinators and has historic medicinal use from its sap.
