Ensuring A Strong Start

How to Plant Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywoodii':

Site Selection: Choose a site with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree to grow.
Soil Preparation: If the soil is compacted or clayey, enrich with compost or organic matter to improve drainage.
Hole Digging: Dig a hole roughly twice as wide and equal in depth to the root ball.
Planting: Position the tree in the hole ensuring it's upright. Refill with soil and water thoroughly.

Post Planting Care

When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:

  1. Immediately After Planting:
    Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil.
  2. First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
    The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth.
  3. Irrigation Systems:
    If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering.
  4. Weather Considerations:
    Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons.
  5. Ongoing Care:
    After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.

Long Term & Ongoing Care

Caring for Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywoodii':

Watering: Water regularly during the initial stages. Once established, the Claret Ash can handle periods of drought but prefers consistent moisture.
Mulching: A mulch layer helps retain soil moisture and suppresses weed growth. Apply around the base without touching the trunk.
Pruning: Young trees can be pruned to shape and encourage a strong structure. Mature trees generally require little pruning unless removing dead or damaged branches.

Growing Your Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywoodii' in Various Soil Types

Optimal Soil Conditions for Vibrant Foliage

Ideal Drainage:
Requires well-drained soil to prevent root diseases and promote healthy growth.

Well-Draining Soil:
Essential for maintaining the structural integrity and health of the tree.

If you have the following soil, here are some tips for you:

  • Sandy Soils: Naturally well-drained which benefits Raywood Ash. Enrich with organic matter to increase nutrient availability and water retention.
  • Clay Soils: Improve with coarse sand and organic compost to enhance drainage and aeration.
  • Loamy Soils: Ideal for Raywood Ash; maintain fertility with regular organic amendments.
  • Acidic or Alkaline Soils: Adaptable to a range, but moderate pH adjustments may be needed to optimize growth.
