narrow-leafed ash

Narrow-leafed ash (Fraxinus angustifolia) should be watered moderately but regularly. It is best to water the plant enough to keep the soil moist near the root zone, but not overly wet or soggy. Water the narrow-leafed ash deeply and infrequently each week, giving the water time to soak down to the deepest roots. Depending on the weather and the type of soil, this could be between once and 3 times per week. Check the soil near the base of the plant weekly and water if the soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering the plant, as this can damage the roots and prevent the plant from growing properly.

Narrow-leafed ash (Fraxinus angustifolia) plants typically need 8-10 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to thrive. This sunlight should be given to the plants throughout the spring and summer months and should begin to decrease in the fall. They also need indirect sunlight throughout the remainder of the hours in the day. It is important to ensure that the plants get enough sunlight during this time as it will promote growth and health, yielding a full and lush plant. Additionally, providing enough sunlight helps the narrow-leafed ash plants maintain their green, glossy foliage. It is important not to water the plants on overcast days or when the amount of direct sunlight they receive is limited.

Narrow-leaved ash (Fraxinus angustifolia) should be pruned between late winter and early spring. Pruning should be kept to a minimum, with only dead, diseased, or damaged branches being removed. You should also remove any crossing or rubbing branches, branches that are growing towards the middle of the tree, or branches that are growing away from the desired shape of the tree. Pruning should also be used to open up the tree canopy to help the light reach the inner parts of the tree.
