watering
Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica 'Summit') should be watered deeply whenever the top few inches of soil become dry. This typically happens every 7-10 days in the spring and summer and every 2 weeks in the fall and winter. Give each plant about 10 gallons of water each time you water and avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica 'Summit') does best in a location that receives full sun for at least 6 hours a day. This species should also receive partial shade during the hottest part of the day, in order to prevent the leaves from burning. The best time for full sun exposure is in the morning, as the sun is first rising, and then again in the late afternoon when the sun is starting to set. This will ensure that your green ash gets a consistent level of sunlight throughout the day.
pruning
Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica 'Summit') should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pruning should remove dead or damaged branches as needed, and selective pruning is also recommended to create a pleasing shape. The amount of pruning should be light and tied to a specific purpose, such as thinning out overcrowded branches or restoring its natural growth shape. Make sure not to remove more than 1-third of the tree's branches at a time.
