Fraxinus uhdei ‘Full Moon’

‘Full Moon’ is a selected cultivar of tropical ash. It is characterized by a round canopy and extremely obtuse branch angles (60 to 90 degrees), a structure that contributes to its high resistance to breakage. The leaf consists of 5–7 small glossy dark green leaflets. The cultivar bears very few fruits and excels in its uniform and spherical canopy shape. We graft it ourselves in the nursery. Our ‘Full Moon’ presents spectacular fall colors in shades of amber, especially on mountains and high mountains. In especially hot years, the leaves fall for an extremely short period and may even not fall completely before new leaves begin to bloom. An adult tree displays high resistance to extreme climate conditions, but the young tree is prone to severe burns from strong sun and is sensitive to cold. This tree has a perennial pest that is more common in the coastal and lowland areas. The leopard moth – which burrows into the trunk. Usually, when the tree develops under optimal conditions, it will prevail over the pest.
