Shamel Ash Yarn Bowl

From a tree in our daughters back yard.

The Shamel Ash, also known as the ‘Evergreen Ash’, is a favorite, waterwise, fast-growing shade tree perfect for just about any landscape. Expect a large canopy that provides a generous amount of shade. A native to Mexico, this sun-loving, fast-growing tree can grow up to 40-feet tall and wide in just 20 years. At Moon Valley Nurseries, we grow a special Evergreen Ash strain that is stronger, more reliable, and more evergreen than other strains available. Simple to grow, Shamel Ash or Evergreen Ash is generally grown in parks, commercial areas, and can be seen adorning landscapes across the Southwest, West Coast, and Texas.

The classic, larger-leaved, green foliage is attractive and complements just about any landscape style. It is easy to see why the Evergreen Ash is such a popular tree grown in parks and backyards – its striking beauty and large, natural shade cover makes it an ideal tree to have a picnic under to shade a home or pool area. It is an extremely drought tolerant tree and will need very little water once it has been established.

This massive shade provider features a soft, classic appearance that is sure to add value to any property. Growing up with an Evergreen Ash tree is common in Southern California. It is the type of classic tree where you might find people engraving initials into the thick trunk as the years go by. Try planting this Evergreen Ash as a single accent to shade a hot side of the house or as a streetside tree to augment the curb appeal of your home!
