Buy Autumn Purple Ash at TN Nursery.  This tree is a good tree for large open areas with plenty of open soil space and it also makes a good shade tree for your home or if shade is needed on the roof. It is somewhat adapted for use as a street tree with plenty of soil space but extensive use may be unwise because of potential insect and disease problems as the tree gets older and because of its sensitivity to extreme drought. Ash decline is one of its major problems and is probably caused by a complex of conditions, including a mycoplasma-like organism. It has taken out many trees in some locations. However, one advantage of this tree is the lack of seeds. Seeds are a constant nuisance on the species and can limit the species' usefulness as a street tree.  This tree does well in the full sun or partial shade preferably in a moist site although the tree does withstand some drought. Growth will be best in slightly acidic, neutral or slightly basic soil pH.
