Common Name:
Evergreen Ash, Himalayan Ash

Description:
Fraxinus griffithii, commonly known as the Evergreen Ash or Himalayan Ash, is a fast-growing, semi-evergreen to evergreen tree that provides year-round greenery and shade. It features a rounded canopy with glossy, dark green, pinnate leaves, making it an attractive option for streetscapes, gardens, and commercial landscapes. In spring and summer, it produces clusters of small, white, fragrant flowers, which are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. This hardy tree thrives in well-drained soil and is highly adaptable to coastal conditions, heat, and moderate drought once established. Its non-invasive root system makes it a great choice for urban planting, courtyards, and driveways.
