Fraxinus americana 'Autumn Applause': 'Autumn Applause' White Ash

`Autumn Applause' White Ash is a male tree introduced in 1975, growing 40 to 50 feet tall and perhaps 25 to 30 feet wide, and is a cultivar of the species which is native to moist locations. The tree grows rapidly and is almost pyramidal with a round top when young, but gradually slows down and develops an oval shape. `Autumn Applause' White Ash prefers a sunny exposure where it will develop its consistently-outstanding deep red, maroon or purple fall color, whereas the species develops yellow or no fall color. Fall color often comes earlier than on other trees. It has one of the most stunning displays of fall color.
