Little Leaf Ash is a hardy evergreen that can be grown as a large shrub or a small tree. The shrub form requires little to no pruning to maintain, and it’s low, multi-branching habit serves as an ideal screen or landscape foundation.
Training Little Leaf Ash into a small tree has benefits as well, especially since there are so few clean and green patio-sized trees that do well in the Southwest! Removing lower branches reveals attractive grey bark that can be showcased in raised planters or containers for a dramatic impact. Place them near pools, patios or entryways for extra shade and architectural interest.
