Comments
Although American ash is native to the USA east of the Plains, it is present in some towns of the Valley (e.g., Del Norte) only as a cultivated tree, so far with no evidence of spreading. BONAP shows Fraxinus americana in Jeff Davis Co, Texas, with no vouchers in SEINet. If that location lies within the Rio Grande drainage, it may represent the only occurrence of the tree, not cultivated, in the drainage.
