Fraxinus angustifolia ‘Raywood’ is a fast-growing, deciduous shade tree with a narrow and excurrent habit when young and maturing into a dense, symmetrical, oval, decurrent canopy and featuring pinnately-compound, glossy green summer leaves that turn to shades of dark red, burgundy, and deep violet-purple in autumn. It is a male clone and seedless. Uses include shade tree, street tree, windbreak. Tolerates desert, intermountain, and coastal conditions. It grows best in full sun to partial shade; dense shade results in a sparse canopy. Highly adaptable to soil conditions. Thrives in sandy, loamy, or heavy clay soils, tolerating alkaline to acidic pH level. Medium water needs when young. Moderately to drought-tolerant once it is fully established. It will do best if it receives regular, deep watering during hot summers. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Moderate fire-resistance. Cold hardy to -10°F.
