We’re open Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 4pm.

We don’t offer a planting service, however for specialist projects we recommend working with a landscaper who understands plant species, site conditions and the level of detail your project may need. We can point you toward trusted consultants in your region.

We’re always happy to help with tree selection.

The best time to plant is during the cooler months, from Autumn through to Spring. Trees establish more easily in these Seasons as soil stays moist and temperatures are steady.

Planting is still possible through Summer if irrigation is in place and the site can be kept consistently watered. With the right care, year‑round planting can work well.

We deliver New Zealand wide. Our team arranges delivery for you, whether it’s a single tree or a full project load. We work with trusted transport partners to make sure your trees arrive safely and in great condition.

FRAXINUS oxycarpa ‘Raywoodii’ – Claret Ash

Product Details

Claret Ash

Growing upright, the Claret Ash has a sense of formality to it when youthful. Something it keeps into maturity as it grows, changing into a well rounded tree. During the summer months, the narrow and glossy leaves have a deep green colour that practically screams vitality. In Autumn, the showpiece is revealed. It is as if someone has poured a rich claret over the foliage. The deciduous Claret Ash is tolerant of dry conditions and will grow to 10 x 5m.

Suitable for: Avenues, group or feature plantings.

Features: Claret-red autumn colour.

Botanical Name: FRAXINUS oxycarpa Raywoodii
