Clegg Garden contains a considerable amount of blue ash (Fraxinus quadrangulata). This species of ash is native to Indiana woodlands but is not particularly common. To identify blue ash look for the four ridges (you might also call them wings) on the blue ash twig. The photo above shows a typical blue ash twig and leaves. The blue ash population at Clegg Garden seems to be regenerating well as we find many seedling and sapling trees.
