Autumn Purple White Ash
| A mature white ash (Fraxinus americana) standing on a snow covered slope on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. Van Hise hall is on the left. This tree was noted by Horticulture Professor G. William Longenecker to have unusually colorful autumn foliage. Working with commercial nurseries, Longenecker propagated saplings from the tree, and the cultivar "Autumn Purple" was introduced around 1960. It has become a widely used landscape and street tree. |
