Fraxinus angustifolia ‘Raywood’

Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywood'

Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywood' is a fast-growing deciduous tree valued for its elegant foliage and outstanding autumn colour. It develops a narrow, upright crown when young, gradually broadening into a fuller, rounded canopy as it matures.

The slender, glossy dark green leaves provide an attractive display through spring and summer before turning rich shades of plum-purple, burgundy and wine-red in autumn. This dramatic seasonal transformation makes 'Raywood' an excellent specimen tree for larger gardens, avenues and open spaces.

Adaptable and vigorous, 'Raywood' grows well in a wide range of soils and is tolerant of chalk, clay and exposed coastal conditions. Its strong growth, graceful form and exceptional autumn foliage make it a particularly useful tree where height, structure and seasonal colour are required.
