Marshall Seedless Ash Surprise At Brenner Farm
The Marshall Seedless Ash planted four years ago at the Marvin Brenner farm southeast of Princeton grew 15 feet in a single summer after borers weakened an American elm replacement. A Willis Nursery expert notes such rapid growth can happen in high humidity, but the slender trunk needs support and a hard winter may kill it. If it survives and thickens, it may mature though chances are slim.
