along the Little Missouri River where it crosses highway 212, just northwest of Alzada, Carter County, Montana, United States (Google, OSM)Description
Green ash is a native tree species of riparian or low seep areas and often forms a tree with a single main trunk, in contrast to boxelder (Acer negundo). The opposite compound leaves with leaflets having uniformly serrate margins are characteristic of Fraxinus species. This site lies along the Little Missouri River where it crosses highway 212, just northwest of Alzada, Carter County, Montana.
