Brilliant Fall Colors Meet Easy, Fast Growth
Why Autumn Purple Ash Trees?

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Purple Ash Trees are moderately drought tolerant and very adaptable to a wide variety of soil conditions, even soils that are heavy in clay, providing that the soils are well-draining.
Dig your hole in any area with full sun to partial shade (about 4 to 5 hours of sunlight daily) and make it twice as wide as the diameter and just as deep as the depth of the root ball. Place your tree in the center and gently backfill the soil until it halfway fills the hole. Water the planting site and allow the soil to settle.
2. Watering: Your Autumn will benefit from weekly watering until it becomes more established. The best way to water Autumn Purple Ash roots is by placing a garden hose with slow trickling water at the base of the tree for about 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your Autumn Purple Ash with a balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10. Apply the fertilizer according to the instructions on the packaging during the summer months.
4. Pruning: Your Autumn Purple Ash will benefit from some occasional pruning, which should be done in the early spring season. Remove any branches that overlap, grow upright or crisscross on the main trunk.

Fast Growing!
Got the tree about a week after I ordered. Came in a long box neatly packaged. Planted the tree that day and two weeks later it has new limbs growing. Awesome.
Autumn Purple Ash Tree
We love our little tree so far! We planted it a few yards east of where the old cedar tree stood, so hopefully it will grow fast and we will live long enough to appreciate its beauty!!
