How big does an ash (green and white ash) get and how long does it live?
Green and white ash mature at roughly 50-80 ft tall with 40-60 ft spreads, and healthy trees lived well past a century before EAB arrived. Removal brackets high for the size because dead ash usually cannot be climbed — many companies refuse to climb one dead more than about six months — so bucket or crane access, not trunk diameter, sets the price.
Spread below ground too
Ash is not a hardscape or sewer offender; you rarely get a call about ash roots lifting a drive the way you do with silver maple. What matters instead is that soil-applied systemic treatments (imidacloprid, dinotefuran drenches) depend on root uptake, so compacted subdivision clay, drought, and a root zone sitting in stripped subsoil all reduce how well a treatment actually takes.
