Fraxinus Xanthoxyloides F. Dumosa

Mexican ash, scientifically known as Fraxinus xanthoxyloides f. dumosa, is a unique and lesser-known variant of the ash tree family. Native to the mountainous regions of central Mexico, this plant thrives in rocky and arid environments where few others can survive. Its compact growth habit and dense foliage make it an attractive addition to native gardens and ecological restoration projects. Despite its resilience, the Mexican ash faces threats from habitat loss and climate change, highlighting the need for conservation efforts. This plant serves as a vital component of its ecosystem, supporting local biodiversity and offering potential medicinal uses.
