Summary 4

Fraxinus profunda (Pumpkin Ash; syn. F. tomentosa Michx.) is a species of Fraxinus (ash) native to eastern North America, primarily in the United States, with a scattered distribution on the Atlantic coastal plain and interior lowland river valleys from southern Maryland northwest to Indiana, southeast to northern Florida, and southwest to southeastern Missouri to Louisiana, and also locally in the extreme south of Canada in Essex County, Ontario.

Distribution 5

Pumpkin ash is found locally along swamp margins and river  bottoms, chiefly in the Atlantic Coastal Plain from southern  Maryland and southeastern Virginia to northern Florida, and west  to Louisiana. It also grows in the Mississippi and Ohio River  Valleys from southern Illinois and Indiana, south through  southeastern Missouri and northeastern Arkansas. Its range,  however, is quite discontinuous.
