Fraxinus angustifolia (Narrow-leafed Ash)
Fraxinus angustifolia is a deciduous tree native to Southwest Europe and North Africa. I has soft textured leaves that are among the narrowest of its species. The leaflets have a dark, glossy color on top and it goes paler underneath. Flowers are insignificant. The light brown bark becomes furrowed with time. It does well as a specimen and shade tree. It can also be used for streets.
