watering
White Ash (Fraxinus americana 'Autumn Purple') should be watered approximately twice a week when the top 2 inches of soil become dry. As a general rule, water deeply so that the soil has time to absorb moisture and let excess water drain away. Do not water solely on a schedule; assess the soil moisture level each time you water. During the warmer months, extra water may be necessary.
sunlight
White ash (Fraxinus americana 'Autumn Purple') prefers to be grown in full sunlight, if possible. It will tolerate partial shade but will not flower or produce fruit in shade conditions. When grown in full sun, it can receive up to 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day during peak summertime months. It should be placed in an area that receives full sun for at least 4 to 5 hours each day year-round.
pruning
White ash (Fraxinus americana 'Autumn Purple') should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Prune off any dead, diseased, or crossing branches to maintain the desired shape and size of the tree. Additionally, gently thin out the canopy to allow more light and airflow between branches. Aim to remove no more than 1-third of the plant's branches.
