About Fraxinus uhdei (Wenz.) Lingelsh.
Fraxinus uhdei, commonly called tropical ash or Shamel ash, is a tree species native to Mexico and Central America. It is widely planted as a street tree in Mexico and the southwestern United States. It has also been planted in Hawaii, where it has spread from cultivation and is currently classified as an invasive species. Like other species in the section Melioides, Fraxinus uhdei is dioecious: male and female flowers grow on separate individual plants. In ecological observations, a dieback caused by a phytoplasma was documented in Colombia and Ecuador in 2004.
