Note 5/21/2014: I realize the signs are all gone now. The stand (bent as it is) still holds the container. I am currently talking to the rangers to determine the future of this cache. For now it is still working but it is likely that soon I will remove or change the cache container for the cache's protection.
A brief introduction:
White ash (Fraxinus americana ‘Rosehill’) is a tall, deciduous tree native to Nova Scotia, Minnesota, and south to Florida and Texas.
Find out more about this tree and offset your carbon footprint.
A little bit more about the tree:
White ash will grow to be about 50 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 30 feet. It has a high canopy with a typical clearance of 6 feet from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines.
Fun Fact!
It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 80 years or more.
