Ash Replacement Mix
$60.00Each bundle comes with 25 tree seedlings.
5x Silver Maple
5x Hackberry
5x White Cedar
5x Swamp Oak
5x Balsam FirWith the widespread occurrence of the emerald ash borer in Minnesota, it is not recommended to plant ash trees. If ash has been removed, these species are suited to similar conditions as ash trees. Planting a variety of species promotes healthy and resilient woodlands, decreasing their susceptibility to pests and disease. Ash trees are typically found in floodplains and wet forests, as well as in urban areas. Species like silver maple, hackberry, white cedar, paper birch, and balsam fir grow in similar habitats and are good replacements for ash.
