Fraxinus americana 'Junginger' [sold as Autumn Purple®]

Autumn Purple White Ash

The Autumn Purple White Ash is a popular variant due to its attractive glossy foliage and purple-red fall color. It is a male clone and does not produce any fruit litter. An unattractive ash flower gall (caused by mites) can develop on male flowers and persist into winter. Subject to storm damage, so plant in areas that shelter the tree from strong winds. Emerald Ash Borer is severely affecting all species of this genus. Damage can be prevented with the appropriate pesticide, but the treatment cost will eventually exceed replacement cost.
