Are these co-dominate leads an issue?


I am worried about how this young Arizona ash is growing. Should I pick one lead or is this fine/am I stuck with 3?

Thank you!

    I would plant another species. It’ll be dead before the co-doms are an issue. EAB has spread west and will kill most ash trees in the next 10 years.

    PSA: *co-dominate* is not a word, although it appears on the tree subs all too often.

    I agree that the ash isn’t your forever tree because of EAB, so choose a leader in dormancy and don’t worry too much about it.

    Also, it is not a xeric tree and will outgrow that watering well. You will need to figure out a way to water the entire rooting area if you wish to keep it for more than a decade or so.
