Traditional  knowledge: The-Tree also offers a page where you can read the entry for Ash from "A Modern Herbal" (Mrs. M. Grieve, ed. Mrs. C.F.Leyel) published in 1931. Obviously things have moved on since then, yet this book is still often unsurpassed in its scope and depth of traditional knowledge. The page pops up in a new window. Close it to return to the Tree Gallery.

Note from webmother to  page visitors:
Many of these pages are still bare bones. Whenever time allows, we will continue to add information to the Tree Gallery until all the trees have descriptions of their habitat, characteristics, cultivation, uses and anything else of interest. Email us if you are keen to know more about a particular tree and we will do our best to complete that one next.
