A selection of the Flowering Ash, found in Hungary in the Meczek mountains. The crown is spherical and 3 - 4 m across and the height of the crown depends on the graft union. The smooth grey bark turns to grey-black later. The odd-pinnate leaves are shiny dark green, 10 - 15 cm big and have 7 leaflets. In autumn they turn to golden yellow to purplish. The tree has white flowers in terminal panicles. Period of flowering May/June, after the leaf. After the flowering there is seldom any seed production. 'Meczek' can be applied in small gardens and in narrow avenues and streets and tolerates drier, calcareous soil. 'Meczek' withstands urban climates well and is fairly wind resistant.
