About this plant
About this plant
Mecsek flowering ash carries fresh green leaflets on a dense globe-shaped crown and may produce creamy spring flowers.
Its branches make a compact rounded crown above the graft, an attractive outline even when the deciduous leaves have fallen.
Best used for
Best used for
Use as a small standard tree along paths, in courtyards or in formal garden designs.
Leave space around the grafted crown so its natural shape remains visible.
Growth & mature size
Growth & mature size
Expect around 15–30 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. For grafted standards, the stem height is already set at grafting; the crown develops above it. At maturity it typically reaches 4–6 m in height and 3–5 m in width. Allow room for a compact rounded crown above the graft; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.
How to care
How to care
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Keep shoots emerging below the graft removed and lightly thin or shape the crown only when needed.
