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.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

A good read
Format: Kindle
A good read, just fluffy cuteness, no antagonism. I like all the characters. It could have used another round of editing however, glanfds being one error that cracked me up, and my personal pet peeve was that the author kept using the word fill instead of feel, which I promise you are not interchangeable haha, but it's definitely better than the majority of books I read on here mistake-wise.
