- Synopsis
- In this image of an ash tree, the trunk stems from the bottom centre of the page and the leafy branches are in the middle of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There is a picture of an ash leaf in the top left and a picture of an ash seed in the top right of the page. The leaf stem is to the top right of the leaf itself. The seed is similarly positioned. For scale there is a 'stick man' representing the height of an adult person in the bottom right of the page. The ash tree can grow to 45 metres high. It has large distinctive black buds in spring. The wood from the ash tree is flexible. It was used for policeman's truncheons and is still used to make billiard cues. The ash tree can live for 200 years. Its seed has a wing which helps it to be carried away from the mother tree.
