GOLDEN DESERT™ ('Aureafolia', 'Landes') - click image

Fraxinus excelsior GOLDEN DESERT™ is a selected clone of the 'Jaspidea' type with showy yellow shoots in winter. Against a blue sky (as here) it is simply shocking. It has been called a "rename" but in our experience this plant is more erect and globose with age than most 'Jaspidea' stock.

This tree is ideal for the winter garden where it serves as the arborescent equivalent of Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea', the well known gold-twigged dogwood. Note the knob-like ends of the very thick twigs. This is not something seen to such an extreme on the native American ashes - despite some of their "hidden buds".

So many ashes are boring winter to spring, tolerable throughout summer, and spectacular mainly in the fall. Here is one with yellow spring foliage and another show all winter long. There are more interesting months with GOLDEN DESERT than most other cultivars around.
