Pterocarya fraxinifolia, reasonably fast-growing tree with a height of 15-20 m. Wide-spreading and heavy crown. Deeply grooved bark. Develops lots of root suckers around the trunk, especially in moist soils. Has thick, yellowish-brown twigs and rusty brown, bare buds. Leaf odd-pinnate, fresh green, 25-45 cm long with 8-12 cm leaflets. Especially the 20-40 cm long fruit catkins with their two-winged nutlets are very decorative. Park tree for damp, fertile soils. Not suitable for coastal planting. As an avenue tree in paved surfaces that allow deep rooting. When planted in avenues, the low suspending branches need to be pruned in time.
