Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

A selection of Manchurian Ash, 'Mancana' is a durable, attractive tree with a uniform upright, oval canopy, growing about 40 to 50 feet tall and 20 or so feet wide. Like other ashes, it has compounded leaflets that allow for an open winter silhoutte. Leaves are rich green in the summer months, turning golden yellow in the fall. A good shade tree for smaller yards, as it doesn't have a wide spread. Seedless.
WARNING: Emerald Ash Bore have been identified in Colorado; this is a highly destructive invasive pest and has caused significant damage to ash trees throughout the eastern United States. Go to utahpests.usu.edu for more information. Grow in well drained soil; adaptive to soil types. Drought tolerant once establish, but best growth will occur with regular summer watering. Developed by the Morden Research Station in Manitoba. Hardy to USDA Zone 3.
