106 SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN REGION. slopes of the Smoky Mountains is sawn and sold as cherry. It seeds frequently and freely and reproduces well. The rate of growth is fair. Black Ash (Eraxinus nigra), a small tree not more than 30 feet in height and 1 foot in diameter, grows in cold mountain swamps. It is found only in a few places, and is unimportant as a timber tree. White Ash (Eraxinus americana), becoming 130 feet in height and 40 inches in diameter, is one of the most common and important trees. The light brown, elastic wood is largely used in furniture, for handles of agricultural implements, etc. It seeds freely and reproduces well if proper soil and light conditions are afforded. The growth is good. Red Ash (Eraxinus pennsylvanica) is a slender tree, seldom more than 110 feet in height and 2 feet in diameter, which is frequent along the banks of the larger streams. The wood is similar to that of the WThite Ash, and is put to the same uses. Green Ash (Eraxinus lanceolata) is a tree with the same size and distribution as the above, but more common. Biltmore Ash (Eraxinus biltmoreana) is a tree 20 feet in height and 2 feet in diameter, growing on the larger streams of the plateau. It is not common. Catawba Ash (Eraxinus catawbiensis) is a slender tree, 110 feet in height and 30 inches in diameter. It occurs only on the banks of the larger streams at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Its growth is rapid and it reproduces freely. Fringetree (Chionanthus virgvnica), becoming 25 feet in height and 8 inches in diameter, is common along streams at lower elevations. Catalpa (Catalpa catalpa) is an introduced tree which has become naturalized along some of the larger streams. It becomes 40 feet in height and 2 feet in diameter, and is a tree of rapid growth. The wood is durable and makes excellent posts. Black Haw (Viburnum prunifolium) is a small tree, 15 feet in height, frequent in fields and along small streams at low elevations. An extract from the bark is used medicinally.
