Description
Fraxinus excelsior ‘Purple Spire’, commonly known as Purple Ash, is a deciduous, upright-growing tree with a remarkably even branching structure. Over time, it develops into an oval shape, with a moderate to fast growth rate.
Throughout spring and summer, it bears glossy green foliage that transforms into striking shades of purple and orange in autumn, adding seasonal interest. Interestingly, this cultivar was developed in New Zealand, although its Fraxinus parentage traces back to Europe.
Ideally, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and will tolerate some wind, making it a resilient choice for various landscapes. As such, it’s excellent for planting along streets, avenues, or long driveways.
Typically, it reaches approximately 8 x 4 metres, offering structure and colour without overwhelming smaller spaces.
