Why Ash Trees Produce Large Numbers Of Seeds

Many homeowners become concerned when large numbers of ash tree seeds begin covering their yard. While seed production is a normal part of an ash tree's life cycle, some years produce significantly more seeds than others.

Several different factors may influence seed production, including tree age, environmental conditions, weather patterns, overall tree health, and various stress factors. Because every tree responds differently, seed production alone does not necessarily indicate a serious problem.

Homeowners should also watch for other warning signs such as yellow leaves, leaf loss, dead branches, thinning foliage, bark damage, poor growth, and overall canopy decline. Multiple symptoms often provide a clearer picture of the tree's condition.

Warner's Tree Surgery has been diagnosing and treating ash tree problems throughout the East Valley since 1972.
