The most adaptable native ash. Now fighting for survival.

Fraxinus pennsylvanica, the Green Ash, is the most widely distributed and ecologically adaptable native ash in North America, growing from Nova Scotia to Florida and from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountain foothills in conditions that would stress most other large hardwoods. It tolerates flooding, drought, alkaline soils, urban compaction, and cold winters with a resilience that made it one of the most commonly planted street and shade trees in North American cities for most of the 20th century. It is also one of the species most devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer, which has killed hundreds of millions of Green Ash trees since the beetle was discovered in 2002. Growing Green Ash from seed today is a contribution to the genetic reservoir of a species under extraordinary pressure. If you are looking to buy Green Ash seeds or grow native ash from seed, every tree matters during what may be the most significant American tree die-off since the chestnut blight.

  • The most widely distributed native ash in North America, adaptable to an enormous range of soils and conditions
  • Tolerates flooding, drought, alkaline soils, and urban stress better than most large native hardwoods
  • Brilliant yellow to purple fall color, reliable and attractive across most growing conditions
  • Produces heavy seed crops eaten by finches, grosbeaks, and waterfowl through fall and winter
  • Critically threatened by Emerald Ash Borer, making every cultivated tree a conservation contribution

Things you probably did not know about the Green Ash

It was planted on more miles of American streets than almost any other tree. From the 1950s through the 1990s, Green Ash was one of the primary street tree species planted in cities across the Midwest and eastern United States because of its fast growth, urban tolerance, and adaptability to compacted soils under pavement. The loss of these street trees to Emerald Ash Borer has been economically devastating, with removal costs estimated in the billions of dollars for affected municipalities.

The Emerald Ash Borer kills by girdling the tree under the bark. The adult Emerald Ash Borer beetles lay eggs in the bark of ash trees. The larvae that hatch tunnel under the bark and feed on the phloem and cambium tissue, creating S-shaped galleries that disrupt the flow of water and nutrients. By the time symptoms are visible above ground, the tree is typically already dying. A single ash tree can host thousands of larvae simultaneously, all feeding in the layer just beneath the bark.

Indigenous peoples used it for snowshoes and tool handles. Green Ash wood is strong, flexible, and shock-resistant in ways that make it ideal for applications requiring both toughness and resilience. Snowshoe frames, canoe paddles, oar blades, and tool handles were made from Green Ash across the eastern and central woodland tribes because no other common native wood combined these properties as effectively in slender cross-sections.

The winged seeds are harvested by birds before they reach the ground. Green Ash produces enormous quantities of single-winged seeds called samaras that spin on descent, slowing their fall enough to travel considerable distances in wind. Purple Finches, Pine Siskins, and Evening Grosbeaks harvest these seeds directly from the tree and in the leaf litter beneath, making Green Ash one of the most reliable winter bird feeding trees in areas where it grows.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.
