Fraxinus griffithii, the Himalayan ash or evergreen ash is a species of flowering tree. It has been recorded in the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Taiwan, China, Bangladesh and India. This plant is commonly grown as an ornamental in Australia, where it is an invasive species. [2] [3] [4]
Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. angustifolia has become a weed in many parts of Australia, where it is known as Desert Ash. It has been widely planted as a street and park tree, and has spread to native bushland and grasslands, as well as stream banks and drainage lines, out-competing native plants for moisture, light and nutrients.

In order to reduce the potential harms of the sawtooth oak, researchers and scientists are advising to remove tree saplings and remove the plant species altogether from reclamation species lists. Due to their preference for well-drained acid soils, Quercus acutissima is able to thrive and survive in various harsh locations. [6]
Oak regeneration failure is a woodland phenomenon whereby insufficient oak seedlings and saplings are recruited into the canopy to replace dead mature oaks.The result is a local decline in oak numbers while other more shade-tolerant trees such as maple, lime, and ash may become more prominent.
European ash in flower Narrow-leafed ash (Fraxinus angustifolia) shoot with leaves. Fraxinus (/ ˈ f r æ k s ɪ n ə s /), commonly called ash, is a genus of plants in the olive and lilac family, Oleaceae, [4] and comprises 45–65 species of usually medium-to-large trees, most of which are deciduous trees, although some subtropical species are evergreen trees.
Seedling development is typically good in old fields with well-drained loamy soils. Acorn supply is one of the principal determinants of the amount of natural cherrybark oak reproduction. Other factors include microclimate, soil properties, and stand variables. Seedling development is related to overhead release, with large openings needed.
Example: Hazel-ash coppice with hazel cut at 7 years and ash in the same area cut at 21 years (every third cut, all stools in the cant are cut). But note that under coppice with standards (for instance oak standards over hazel) the oak was cut under a much longer cycle. With hazel-ash under oak standards you now have 3 cycles superimposed.
Claret ash is a cultivar of Caucasian ash, derived from a natural seedling variant. [1] Caucasian ash is a subspecies of narrow-leaved ash, Fraxinus angustifolia. Claret ash grows to around 15–20 m (49–66 ft) and has dark green leaves that turn to a dark red claret in the autumn.
