In the last several years I've taken down scads of dead ash trees ,quite a few 80 to 100 footers as a matter of fact.I didn't notice it until today ,it appears to be a zillons of 18" saplings that appear to be ash .
I have several that where not entirely dead that sprouted from the roots of the stumps and are about 12 feet tall now .When I get a chance I'll get a leaf and compare. This might lead to some hope yet for the ash .
Ash seeds can lay in the duff for years, then sprout it they get light. That is a good thing.
Well I will have to say it opened up some holes for the sun after the big ash where down .
