The European Ash
Listen to the information here!
Little curious, as you realized, we are in a forest made up of several species of trees, including this ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior) in front of you.
The European ash is a tree that can reach up to 35 m in height and 1 m in diameter. The buds are matte black, the leaves are 30 to 40 cm long and its fruits are named samaras. The samaras are 2 to 4 cm long, they have a brown color (1 kg of fruits is made from about 16000 samaras). A fruit (a samara) has a single seed.
It grows from the plains and climbs up to the mountain area at 1400 m altitude.

Ash is useful in the treatment of gout, renal lithiasis, edema and water retention.
Infusion from the leaves of ash mixed with black currant leaves, meadowsweet and mint is an extremely refreshing drink.
