Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywood' Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywood'

Healthy, but not strongly growing selection with a slightly irregular crown. F. angustifolia 'Flame' and 'Wollastonii' are identical to 'Raywood' and can be considered to be synonyms. The main branch grows straight and the structural branches grow diagonally upwards. The bark is grey and at a mature age deeply furrowed, twigs turn from olive green to grey green. 'Raywood' has a closed crown when young, mature trees become half open. The shiny, deep-green leaf consists of 9 - 13 narrow leaflets. These are circa 5 - 10 cm long. In autumn the leaf turns aurantiaceous to deep purple red. In warmer soils and in a hot autumn the autumn colour is much more intense. After the inconspicuous bloom there are no fruits. In fertile soils the growth is often more rapid than in poor soils. Breakage of the branches can be the consequence.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
