What is the life span of an Ash tree?

Answer 1

North American Green/Red Ash can live for 300+ years and White Ash 600+ years. Black Ash & Blue Ash are shorter lived types with 100-150 year possible lifespans. Both Green & White can live well past their average age, especially wild examples found growing within the Ash tree's "Bottomland" home range where individuals of this "Keystone" species produce expansive root systems which can be three or more times the age of tree's above ground portion, after original organism has been continually re-sprouted from it's "Coppice" stump shoots. So an individual old growth Green Ash can be 250 above ground, and have a 1000 year old root system below. American Ash is the progenitor of our planet's Fraxinus tree species presently threatened with modern day extinction since the glutinous borers kill young trees off before reaching seeding age of 10, halting any further germination of continued generations. Unlike young Elm which seeds from age 10 to 25 before inevitably killed off by Dutch Elm disease "Fungus", while EAB does not "Disease" or "Infect" Ash. Scientists have observed .01% surviving wild Green Ash containing naturally evolved defenses EAB cannot utilize to achieve it's larval instars with, while the American Fringe tree also related to Olive (Oleaceae) family is now being used by the borers as they kill off their remaining "Untreated" food source of "Living" Ash trees. National Park service is protecting an iconic White Ash from EAB that Thomas Jefferson planted at Monticello, and a 200 year old Ash young George Washington did not cut down with his families Cherry tree. Danger from borers "Infestation" populations has already passed in parts of Michigan where EAB had first arrived in the early 1990's. By: Scottie Ash tree seed
