White Ash Lumber Characteristics
White Ash (Fraxinus americana) is planted in cities throughout Wisconsin for its abundant shade on campuses, parks and business complexes. Its remarkable bronze-purple foliage, flecked with yellow and orange, illuminates city streets in early August. Despite their popularity for commercial and municipal landscaping throughout Wisconsin, White Ash trees are indigenous to northern Wisconsin. Sixty percent of them are found in places like Green Bay, Marinette, Wausau, Hayward and Superior. Southern Wisconsin towns contain 30% of White Ash trees, where they are mostly transplanted for aesthetic purposes.
Although the spread of the beetle species is devastating to Ash forests, the high mortality rate has resulted in an increasing stock volume of premium rough-cut lumber from felled trees. Its lumber has a straight grain with a coarse texture similar to oak. White Ash lumber is popular for its shock resistance and is often used for tool handles, flooring, shipping crates and even baseball bats. Menominee Tribal Enterprises often utilizes White Ash in our custom-milled wood products like butcher's blocks.

Common Uses for White Ash
The Declining White Ash Population in Wisconsin
A Wisconsin DNR Report indicates White Ash is struggling like many Wisconsin ashes. The mortality rate has increased by 68% because of the destructive Emerald Ash Borer beetle, which has been spotted in 37 counties in Wisconsin. The Borer kills Ashes by eating the layer between the wood and the vascular tissue, hindering the uptake of nutrients. Fitting with the Menominee Tribal Enterprises' commitment to sustainable forestry, we’ve collaborated with Wisconsin environmental organizations to design an invasive species prevention plan targeting the Emerald Ash Borer.
