Growing Fraxinus griffithii Successfully in NZ

Fraxinus griffithii grows well in most New Zealand regions. It thrives in well-drained soil with good sunlight and benefits from occasional trimming. Whether grown in containers, borders, or open garden beds, this plant is sure to deliver reliable performance year after year, making it a valuable addition to the home garden.

Fraxinus griffithii Care Tips

To keep your Fraxinus griffithii looking its best, ensure it is planted in a sunny to partly shaded location with free-draining soil. Water during dry periods and remove spent flowers to encourage ongoing blooming. Fertilise annually with a general-purpose fertiliser to maintain lush growth and colour.

Fraxinus griffithii typically grows to its mature size within a few seasons. Most varieties reach around 50 cm to 2.5 m tall and wide. Allow enough space for good air circulation—generally spacing plants 50 cm to 1.5 m apart, depending on mature width. Container growing is also suitable for smaller spaces.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about Fraxinus griffithii (Evergreen Ash)? We are here to help.

Is the Evergreen Ash suitable for Taupo climate? We get many light frosts through winter. Not severe frosts. We want an evergreen tree in the centre of our back lawn. Grow quickly to 3 to 5 metres high and 3 to 5 metres wide; easy to walk under and have a garden seat up against its trunk. Like the picture on your web page. Thanks. Iain Whittet

They are generally cold-hardy, and our ones in Napier have had several heavy frosts across them without issue. I suggest planting in late spring so the tree can acclimate before the frosts hit next year.
