"Fraxinus lanuginosa" (Japanese Ash; Japanese: アオダモ "Aodamo") is a species of ash native to Japan and southern Korea.

It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 10–15 m tall with a trunk up to 50 cm diameter. The bark is smooth, dark grey. The buds are pale pinkish-brown to grey-brown, with a dense covering of short grey hairs. The leaves are in opposite pairs, pinnate, 10-15 cm long, with 3-7 leaflets; the leaflets are broad ovoid, 4-7 cm long and 2-4 cm broad, downy at the base on the underside, with a finely serrated margin, and short indistinct petiolules. The flowers are produced in panicles after the new leaves appear in late spring, each flower with four slender creamy white petals 5–7 mm long; they are pollinated by insects. The fruit is a slender samara 2-4 cm long and 3–5 mm broad, reddish, ripening brown."This article includes text translated from the Japanese wikipedia article アオダモ] Aodamo web: [http://aodamo.web.infoseek.co.jp/aodamo.html "Fraxinus lanuginosa"] (in Japanese; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://aodamo.web.infoseek.co.jp/aodamo.html&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation] )] Japan Trees Guide: [http://www.geocities.jp/ir5o_kjmt/kigi/aodamo.htm "Fraxinus lanuginosa"] (in Japanese; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.geocities.jp/ir5o_kjmt/kigi/aodamo.htm&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation] )] Hakuba Village: [http://web.hakuba.ne.jp/potatoes/botanic/tree/aodamo.html "Fraxinus lanuginosa"] (in Japanese; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://web.hakuba.ne.jp/potatoes/botanic/tree/aodamo.html&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation] )] Bean, W.

In the population of "F. lanuginosa" native to central Hokkaidō, northern Japan, "hermaphrodites and males commonly coexist in populations of the species. Hermaphrodites and males have identical flowering phenologies and pollen morphologies". [Kiyoshi Ishida & Tsutom Hiura (1998). Guest Pollen Fertility and Flowering Phenology in an Androdioecious Tree, Fraxinus lanuginosa (Oleaceae), in Hokkaido, Japan. "International Journal of Plant Sciences" 159: 941–947.]

It is closely related to "Fraxinus ornus" from Europe and southwest Asia, sharing similar flower characters.

Cultivation and uses

Its wood is used in the making of baseball bats. [Muto Goichi, Koizumi Akio, Hirai Takuro (2005) Mechanical characteristics of aodamo ("Fraxinus lanuginosa") as baseball bats.
