Fraxinus xanthoxyloides
Afghan ash is a hardy, drought-tolerant ash tree native to dry, cold uplands from Afghanistan to Tibet and scattered north African mountains. It is grown as a landscape or shelter tree in cold, dry climates, and success depends on giving it full sun and very good drainage.
Fraxinus xanthoxyloides, the Afghan ash or Algerian ash, is a species of ash tree. It is found from Morocco to China. Some authorities originally described the African specimens as a distinct species, Fraxinus dimorpha.
