pumpkin ash

Pumpkin Ash (Fraxinus profunda) should be watered deeply every 7-10 days. Make sure the soil is moist, but not soggy, as too much water can cause root rot or other issues. Water the plant slowly and evenly to ensure that all of the roots are getting enough water. When watering, be sure to water the entire root zone, not just the base of the plant. To conserve water, a deep soak once a week is usually recommended. During dry hot weather, the plant may need more frequent watering. In winter, you may need to water the plant less often, since the demand for water is lower.

Pumpkin ash (Fraxinus profunda) grows best in full sun, which means it should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. In the Northern Hemisphere, this means providing the plant with light from the sun during the spring and summer months when the sun is at its highest in the sky. In the Southern Hemisphere, the pumpkin ash should be exposed to full sunlight from late autumn into early spring. During the extreme heat of summer in both hemispheres, some protection from the direct sun may be necessary for the plant’s health.

Pumpkin Ash trees (Fraxinus profunda) should generally be pruned in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. This is the best time to remove dead or diseased branches, as well as those that rub together, to open the canopy for better air circulation and light penetration. If necessary, lightly thin the crown to reduce density. Avoid drastic pruning, as the Pumpkin Ash's growth rate can be slow. Regular maintenance pruning is recommended to help keep the tree healthy and manageable.
