Fraxinus Xanthoxyloides Var. Dumosa
Mexican ash, scientifically known as Fraxinus xanthoxyloides var. dumosa, is a unique and hardy tree native to the arid regions of Mexico. This variety of ash is characterized by its compact growth habit and thick, waxy leaves that help it survive in harsh, dry environments. It thrives in well-drained soils and is often found in rocky or limestone-rich areas. Despite its small size, the Mexican ash plays an important ecological role in supporting local wildlife and stabilizing soil. Its resilience and adaptability make it a valuable plant for landscaping in drought-prone regions.
