Ash Trees

Ash tree leaves are pinnately compound (made of multiple leaflets arranged on a central stem), typically with 5-11 opposite leaflets that have serrated edges and pointed tips. The leaves have a characteristic glossy green surface that turns yellow to maroon or deep purple in the fall, and a lighter underside. An easy way to identify an ash tree is to check for its opposite branching, where branches grow directly across from each other, unlike most other trees.

Acer Macrophyllum  - Big Leaf Maple.

The range of the bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) extends along the Pacific coast of North America, from southern Alaska to California, and is predominantly found west of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain crests. It also occurs in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and in a limited area of Idaho. It grows in low to mid elevations, thriving in moist soils along river bottoms and at the base of foothills, but is also capable of tolerating drier sites.
