This deciduous shrub, recognized by its singular leaf arrangement, thrives in arid conditions. For single-leaf ash, pruning should focus on removing dead or damaged wood and shaping for aesthetic or structural purposes. The ideal pruning period is late winter to early spring, coinciding with dormancy to encourage vigorous growth. Pruning single-leaf ash offers benefits such as improved air circulation, light penetration, and disease prevention. Care should be taken to make clean cuts and avoid over-pruning.
