Comments (2)One Green World Nursery carries six varieties of Mountain Ash and its hybrids chosen for good-tasting fruit; four of them are listed as hardy to Z 2, and the others to Z 4. Raintree Nursery carries three of the varieties. Here is a link that might be useful: One Green World Nursery...See Moremountain ash question
Comments (2)Yes, what davidrt said. I see no particular harm in trying it though. Mountain ash, although a short-lived, disease-prone member of the rose family, has much to offer for wildlife and human aesthetic delight. For that matter, I've seen them many a time growing as volunteers up in the crotches of big, old maples, etc. Pretty tough survivors despite their short lives. +oM...See MoreRed Oak or Sugar Maple? Mountain Ash or Downy Hawthorn?
Comments (5)Hmmmm...my success rate isn't that high. And I tend to have more trouble with pines then other things. None of the sassafras or beech survived. One of the 10 bare root pitch pine planted last year is alive. One tree in the "Christmas Tree Sampler" I planted this spring survived. All but one of the Black Walnut survived. All the potted Beach Plum survived, 20% of the tiny bare root. All the paw paw survived or fell victim to lawn mowers. The potted American Persimmon survived but neither of the bare root. All the potted blue/meserve holly and bargain bin ninebark. Nome of the American Holly. Of course, we got a drought this year. These trees get minimal/sporadic aftercare....See Moreakamainegrower
