Green ash prefers full sun to light shade, moist, well-drained soils of clay or loam and will tolerate occasional flooding. It is probably the most adaptable of all the ashes and is deer resistant. Mature height varies among green ash depending on the location. In the northern part of its range, green ash may reach heights of 50 to 60 feet and breast height diameters of 18 to 24 in. On quality sites in the southern part of its range, trees may grow up to 120 ft.
