It is a selected male clone of \u003cem\u003eFraxinus americana\u003c\/em\u003e, which means no seed set and no crop of seedlings across the lawn or the neighbour's beds. The crown is denser and more compact than the wild species, holding a neat oval outline that suits driveways and street plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Autumn Applause White Ash\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaroon Autumn Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep purple and burgundy tones rather than the standard ash yellow, reliable in cool and temperate Australian districts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeedless\u003c\/strong\u003e: A male selection, so there is no winged seed litter and no volunteer seedlings to weed out.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Oval Crown\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tighter and more uniform than the species, which matters when trees are repeated down a drive.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean Summer Canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dense mid green foliage gives genuine shade over lawn, paving or a pool deck.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Adaptability\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tolerates alkaline and compacted urban soils that many deciduous shade trees resent.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDriveway Avenue\u003c\/strong\u003e: Repeated at even spacing it gives a formal approach with strong autumn payoff.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLawn Shade Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single specimen throws usable summer shade and lets winter sun back through.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreet Verge\u003c\/strong\u003e: A well behaved urban tree with a predictable crown shape and no seed nuisance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoolside Deciduous Canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep shade in summer, open sky in winter, with a compact leaf drop window.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 6m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 to 10m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn through winter into early spring while dormant, which gives roots a full cool season to establish\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, free draining soil, acidic through to alkaline.
