    In late October of 2023 I visited one of my most sacred places, that is, Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, very close to where I grew up. I went to the Olive Family Collection that is emptier now since the Emerald Ash Borer came about 2019 and killed most of the American and European Ash species that were there, except for two mature but not old Blue Ash trees, one Purple Autumn White Ash still there, and one small European Ash. The arboretum planted some Asiatic Ash species there on the west side that includes the Chinese Ash. There were two maturing Chinese Ash of which I took photos. Otherwise, I have never seen this species before and don't know much about it. Its leaves mostly had leaflets in 5's and 7's.
