This, the only ash of the northwestern U.S., occurs along the streams of the Sierra Nevada foothills and in the Coast Ranges from Santa Cruz Mts. north to B.C.. Most important in Oregon and Washington where it is cut commercially. Usually a small tree but sometimes 80 feet high and 4 feet in diameter. The wood is not as hard as eastern ash, light and only moderately tough. Used for vehicle repairs, furniture, cooperage and occasionally for interior trim.
