The Fraxinus americana, commonly known as white ash, is a deciduous tree that reaches heights of approximately 25 meters and has a broadly columnar form. Its dark green foliage can grow up to 35 centimeters in length, featuring 3 to 5 elongated leaflets. In the fall, the leaves transition to yellow and subsequently to purple. During spring and early summer, the tree produces small, petal-less flowers that are yellowish-purple in color. These flowers are typically found on separate plants, with both male and female necessary for the development of the winged seeds. The tree’s winter buds have a characteristic brown hue.

Fraxinus chinensis var. tomentosa is a rapidly growing deciduous tree that can reach heights of approximately 20 meters. Its young shoots, leaf stems, and flower stems are notably covered in fine hairs. The dark green leaves can grow up to 45 centimeters in length and are made up of as many as seven leaflets, featuring a downy texture on their undersides. In autumn, the foliage often takes on a wine-purple hue. During mid-spring, the tree produces panicles of creamy, petalless flowers that emit a sweet fragrance, which are subsequently followed by brownish-green, winged fruits. The winter buds stand out with their distinctive grey coloration.

Fraxinus cuspidata is a deciduous large shrub or small tree, typically reaching around 6 meters in height. It features slender, smooth branches and dark green leaves that can grow up to 18 centimeters long, consisting of as many as nine leaflets. In spring, as the foliage begins to emerge, the plant produces large clusters of fragrant white flowers, each displaying four elongated petals. The winter buds are reddish-brown in color.

Fraxinus excelsior 'Atlas' is a robust deciduous tree that can reach heights of up to 25 meters. It features a narrow growth form and produces dark green, pinnate leaves that can extend up to 30 centimeters in length, transitioning to a yellow hue in the autumn. In spring through early summer, it bears small, deep purple flowers, which are succeeded by prominent black buds during winter. This cultivar does not produce fruit, making it a suitable choice in areas where self-seeding may be an issue.
