    'Marshall Seedless' is the most commonly planted of the Green Ash cultivars since the 1970's. It develops a wider broad ovate form. it also gets a good yellow fall color. I've seen a lot of dying or dead 'Marshall Seedless' Ashes in northeast Illinois and southern Wisconsin since around 2014. In southeast Pennsylvania the Emerald Ash Borer has not struck yet through 2017.
