The most adaptable native ash. Now fighting for survival.

Fraxinus pennsylvanica, the Green Ash, is the most widely distributed and ecologically adaptable native ash in North America, growing from Nova Scotia to Florida and from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountain foothills in conditions that would stress most other large hardwoods. It tolerates flooding, drought, alkaline soils, urban compaction, and cold winters with a resilience that made it one of the most commonly planted street and shade trees in North American cities for most of the 20th century. It is also one of the species most devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer, which has killed hundreds of millions of Green Ash trees since the beetle was discovered in 2002. Growing Green Ash from seed today is a contribution to the genetic reservoir of a species under extraordinary pressure. If you are looking to buy Green Ash seeds or grow native ash from seed, every tree matters during what may be the most significant American tree die-off since the chestnut blight.

  • The most widely distributed native ash in North America, adaptable to an enormous range of soils and conditions
  • Tolerates flooding, drought, alkaline soils, and urban stress better than most large native hardwoods
  • Brilliant yellow to purple fall color, reliable and attractive across most growing conditions
  • Produces heavy seed crops eaten by finches, grosbeaks, and waterfowl through fall and winter
  • Critically threatened by Emerald Ash Borer, making every cultivated tree a conservation contribution

Things you probably did not know about the Green Ash

It was planted on more miles of American streets than almost any other tree. From the 1950s through the 1990s, Green Ash was one of the primary street tree species planted in cities across the Midwest and eastern United States because of its fast growth, urban tolerance, and adaptability to compacted soils under pavement. The loss of these street trees to Emerald Ash Borer has been economically devastating, with removal costs estimated in the billions of dollars for affected municipalities.

The Emerald Ash Borer kills by girdling the tree under the bark. The adult Emerald Ash Borer beetles lay eggs in the bark of ash trees. The larvae that hatch tunnel under the bark and feed on the phloem and cambium tissue, creating S-shaped galleries that disrupt the flow of water and nutrients. By the time symptoms are visible above ground, the tree is typically already dying. A single ash tree can host thousands of larvae simultaneously, all feeding in the layer just beneath the bark.

Indigenous peoples used it for snowshoes and tool handles. Green Ash wood is strong, flexible, and shock-resistant in ways that make it ideal for applications requiring both toughness and resilience. Snowshoe frames, canoe paddles, oar blades, and tool handles were made from Green Ash across the eastern and central woodland tribes because no other common native wood combined these properties as effectively in slender cross-sections.

The winged seeds are harvested by birds before they reach the ground. Green Ash produces enormous quantities of single-winged seeds called samaras that spin on descent, slowing their fall enough to travel considerable distances in wind. Purple Finches, Pine Siskins, and Evening Grosbeaks harvest these seeds directly from the tree and in the leaf litter beneath, making Green Ash one of the most reliable winter bird feeding trees in areas where it grows.

Creative and well made!
Color: Squirrel
This is a great dog toy, durable, creative, and it kept my dogs busy and very, very interested. It's challenging enough, but not frustrating. Great for tug of war, too!

Looks like fun but NO
Was so excited to get this and slow my girls down eating their treats and engage them in play. How big do the treats have to be? Because I had to scoop wet gross chewed up treats out of each pocket, vacuum, and put them in the washing machine AFTER my girls abandoned them with the treats still in the pockets. GREAT IDEA but not functional. Agressive chewers would have destroyed the toy the first time. SO DISAPPOINTED

Keep these in our pet toy collection at all times.
Size: 15", Style: Rabbit
My 4 dogs love this toy so much I have them all over to play with. The inside helps make this adorable toy last for longer than most dog toys and for the price this means ALOT to me for the value of my money. This dog toy is soft and fun to throw around the house and not break anything as they chase it around. What dog doesn't love a squeaker toy also for an added bonus. The squeaker doesn't last long with 4 large dogs, but long enough I feel like for the price I paid.

My dog loves the Multipet Skele toys!
Size: 15", Style: Duck
My dog absolutely loves this toy and the similar ones (we had a snowman first). He rolls around with it and seems to be so happy. My dog is an aggressive chewer- and he destroys these toys within a couple of months. We have to take pieces of it away as they come loose, especially the squeeker, but he still plays with the rest. I wish it would last longer because he really loves it, but I haven’t found a toy that he cant destroy yet.

Terrible!!!!
Size: 15", Style: Duck
My 2 Australian shepards destroyed this cheaply made toy in 20 minutes! It's advertised for tough chewers, lol, the material it was made from is so thin, you could almost see through it. Don't waste your time or money!
