White Ash

Description
The tree that “powers our national pastime,” white ash furnishes the wood from which Louisville Slugger baseball bats are crafted. The leaves have five to seven stalked leaflets. Many cultivars are available for landscape uses. The emerald ash borer has been found in Indiana. This insect, accidentally introduced from Asia, is lethal to all native ash species, and has the potential for destruction of native ash trees rivals that of Dutch elm disease on American elm.
