Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Of all the ashes, including many we would not plant in our garden, we feel this one is quite worthy, bringing delicate spring green under the harshest conditions. From central and north central Mexico, this F. greggii relative grows to 10-15', possible eventually to 25', with a dainty structure dressed with 4” evergreen leaves consisting of multiple leaflets. Exceedingly drought tolerant.This is a fabulous addition to gardens in the southwest along with milder areas in the rest of the country. Evergreen to the upper teens °F, it has not been tested below the low teens. So let’s stick with upper USDA zone 8 for the moment.
