Hi, This is my first post. I have seen this particular tree scared in a few spots in the Lower Mainland, but nobody can tell me the name of it. I have seen them in green and purple. Thanks Marianne
The Fraxiuns Augustfolia certainly has the correct narrow leaves. Now I wonder about the full purple colour. I looked up many sites describing this tree, but none show autumn colours as solid purple.
Word of caution, in case you are looking to get one for yourself - Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywood' (the widely available cultivar that Ron posted the google images link to) is very brittle, and has a strong tendency to shed branches without much warning.
