Fraxinus platypoda (syn. Fraxinus spaethiana), the Chinese red ash, is a species of flowering plant in the family Oleaceae, native to central China, and Japan.[1][2] In the latter stages of succession it often dominates the mountain riparian forest habitat in which it is found.[3]
It has high resistance to the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis).[4] A slow-growing deciduous tree, it is used as a street tree in Aarhus, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden.[5]
