How do homeowners know if they have ash trees in the street right of way?
The City has a record of all trees in the right of way and can tell residents the species of any street tree. To identify ashes in your yard, you can look at branch attachment (branches are attached to the trunk directly opposite of each other); leaf composition (ashes have a compound leaf containing seven to eleven leaflets); and the fruit (ashes have samaras which look like a miniature paddle).
