Fun Fact about the White Ash:
Baseball aficionados insist that the ‘crack-of-the-bat’ sound when a slugger smashes a home run is most satisfying when it rings out from a bat made of white ash. Tall, fast-growing, and a key species in the forests of the Northeast, this tree serves even greater purposes than contributing to America’s favorite pastime. A native tree of eastern North America, white ash grow in forests and open fields. They can reach heights of 80 feet with a crown that spreads 50 feet wide.
