| | Ohio Trees - White Ash |
 | | White Ash, one of the more common and rapidly growing trees of forests and fields in all of Ohio, is also a popular shade tree for urban areas. |
 | | In addition, seed litter (from female trees), surface roots (with age in compacted or shallow soils), and storm damage (at maturity due to splittable wood and narrow crotch angles) are potential liabilities, primarily in urban areas. |
 | | Leaves of White Ash are opposite, pinnately compound, and have 5 to 9 dark green leaflets (usually seven or nine) with white-green undersides (shown as a detached leaflet, being the reason that White Ash is so-named). |
