i was pretty young when the ash trees died. i remember little things, like the stumps that lined the street on the way to my bus stop, or a remark from my grandfather, a woodworker, about how the supply of ash wood he had left might be the last he'd ever get.

if i bring up ash trees with other people, the ash borers are the first and only thing on their minds. they'll mention how there used to be an ash tree in their yard, or at church or school or anywhere, that had to be cut down. ash trees are exclusively spoken about in the past tense, because they're dead. they're gone and not coming back.

but it's difficult to mourn ash trees when i keep seeing them everywhere i go.

for most of the year, ashes can easily fade into the background. the shape of their leaves is as simple as it gets, and the trunks of ash trees aren't particularly distinctive like birches or american sycamores. but this time of year, ashes stick out like a sore thumb.

most of the ash trees i see are small. quite a few are less than my height. but their leaves stand out boldly from their surroundings, and the range of different colors on such tiny plants are astounding.

like this one i photographed today. almost every leaf from this ash sapling is visible in these three photos, and there's a huge range of colors!

and even though most of the ashes are very young, there are bigger trees. like this one!

i sat right beside this tree to study for three years before i learned that it was an ash. i'm pretty excited to watch it turn all sorts of colors in the coming weeks!

there's also this area right by the river that from the outside appears to be just a huge thicket of redbuds, but when i stepped in, there were SO MANY ashes. They were all much younger than that first one, but it was such an experience to stand there, surrounded by a dozen different ash trees.

the picture really doesn't do it justice, but i had to try. i don't often get the sense that the trees are trying to tell me something, but when i stood and looked up at those ash trees, i felt a strange sense of hope.

the biggest ash tree i've seen since i started searching for them is one i pass on my walk to check on my pawpaws, so i see it a few times a week. it's almost as tall as the big old sycamore across the street, and i'm just in awe of it.

i don't want to diminish the tragedy of what happened to american ash trees. i'm sure if i'd had as much of an interest in plants back then as i do now, it would have been gut-wrenching to watch them all slowly die. but when i walk around and see ashes everywhere i go, i can't find it within myself to feel sad about them. ash trees are alive!!! they're alive and growing! the ash borers can kill as many trees as they want, but the ash will keep propagating in spite of it!

i like to think that somewhere down the line, ash trees will evolve a way to survive the ash borers. eventually, the woods will be full of mature ash trees again, and all those brilliant colors will be everywhere instead of restricted to the underbrush. i'm sure it won't be within my lifetime, but for now, i'll keep looking out for them.

What It Takes to Survive: A History

There’s a swish shuffle crackon the road where Autumn Olives grow. Branchy / silvery and green, they grab the sky / nothing here is nutritious.Its red berries look like the next. I never learned her real name, just that she’s / invasive and her red berries look like the last. If there are multiple seeds / slippery / she calls them a bud.     Buds / appear / when her flowers die, her thorns grow backwards /     they hold onto skin and don’t let go. She’s some kind of rose. And over there the wasp is gone now but / she’s been here / Her tiny eggs left / blooming / in the stem of Golden Rod / implanted / with her sex organ. Golden Rod does not want to birth the wasp-child but the Momma is a parasite / her eggs will balloon in the stem. She won’t tell anyone, but she turned her / organ / into a weapon / and now she’ll sting. Then there’s the Emerald Ash Borer, a tiny pandemic that smashed the forest Ash trees / leaving behind a volume of bare bones. Freckled in from Korea to somewhere in Dearborn, good riddance / Dearborn / and we’re over here now like / Ground Zero Because we have a tradition of fighting invasive species here / ending with practiced wounds / that nothing will eat. And now I’m thinking of the time we, just two girls, walked down this same trail in the dark / behind a twilight yawn / into the debris of tomorrow. An adventure, but we were never Native Americans set fire to the land / the areas that smoldered rewilded / in hopes to destruct invasive species. This I understand. I walk again past the Ash that survived, survived the Borers and the fires and “Hi, Ash.” It’s polite to say the names / to greet them Do your berries look like the rest? / even invasive plants can become native.
