The Green Ash grows to a height of 50'–60' and a spread of about 25' at maturity. More impressively, it grows at a fast rate, with height increases of over than 24" per year in many cases! Full sun is the ideal condition for the Green Ash, which means it should get at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day.

The Green Ash produces green to reddish-purple flowers that are not ornamental, typically blooming in April and yields elongated samaras that are 1–2" long.
