Ash
(Fraxinus)
Ashes are easy to identify because they are one of the few groups of trees whose leaves are both opposite and pinnately compound. If that is not enough, check their fruit. They have dry, winged seeds that look like canoes. Some say it is because ashes grow near water and their seeds are designed for floating. About 70 species of ash occur in the world, with 16 native to North America. Only one is native to this state, Oregon ash, although others are planted ornamentally, especially for their bright red fall foliage.
