Fraxinus ornus, slow-growing, small to medium-sized tree, 6-8 m high, with a wide ovate to round crown. This species is very variable in growth and habit; for that reason a few varieties have been selected and issued by the Naktuinbouw for road plantings. After the leaves have emerged, its distinctive flowering starts with terminal and loose bunches, white to cream-white in colour and fragrant. Thrives on drier, calcareous and sandy soils. Often planted as an ornamental park tree.
