Description

Ash: A Tree of Great Significance

The ash tree has played a profound role in shaping our natural environment and material culture for millions of years. This book explores the botany, cultural history, and medicinal uses of the ash tree, as well as its impact on Northern Hemisphere forests.

From ancient Indo-European cultures to modern-day concerns about the emerald ash borer beetle and ash dieback fungal infection, Edward Parker examines the complex relationship between humans and this remarkable tree.
