The Trojan Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica ‘Trojan’) is a seedless, male cultivar of the Green Ash, developed for its superior form, hardiness, and urban adaptability. It features a strong, symmetrical, oval crown with dense, glossy dark green foliage that turns a consistent, vibrant yellow in autumn.
This cultivar is highly valued for its excellent resistance to common ash diseases and its tolerance for poor soils, drought, flooding, and air pollution. Its seedless nature eliminates messy fruit drop. While no ash is immune, it shows good structural resistance to storm damage.
Selected for its rapid growth and uniform shape, it is an outstanding choice for street plantings, parks, and residential shade in cold climates (Zone 3). The Trojan Green Ash provides all the rugged utility and beauty of the species but with a more predictable, tidy form, making it a premier selection for low-maintenance landscapes where reliability is key.
