Manna Ash (fraxinus ornus) 10 seeds

Fraxinus ornus, also known as Manna Ash, is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree that is native to the Mediterranean region. The tree is prized for its attractive appearance, featuring a dense crown of glossy, dark green leaves that turn yellow in the fall. In late spring, the tree produces clusters of small, fragrant, creamy-white flowers that are followed by winged fruits. One of the unique features of Fraxinus ornus is its production of manna, a sweet, sticky sap that has been used for medicinal and culinary purposes for centuries. The manna is collected by making small cuts in the bark of the tree, allowing the sap to flow out and crystallize. Fraxinus ornus prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, and can tolerate a range of temperatures and soil types. It is also resistant to many common pests and diseases, making it a low-maintenance tree for landscaping or as a specimen tree. With its attractive foliage, fragrant flowers, and unique production of manna, Fraxinus ornus is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a versatile and interesting tree to add to their landscape.
