Yes while Emerald Ash Borer has affected some regions, responsible forestry and managed stands ensure steady availability from certified sources in the Upper Midwest. #### Can kiln-dried Ash be exported without fumigation? Usually, yes. Properly kiln-dried, bark-free Ash meets heat treatment requirements for most destinations when shipped with kiln-dry certification and a USDA-APHIS phytosanitary certificate. Requirements vary by country — our export team confirms per shipment. #### What’s the difference between White Ash and European Ash? White Ash (*Fraxinus americana*) is the North American species: lighter, more uniform in color and slightly harder. European Ash (*Fraxinus excelsior*) often shows olive-brown heartwood streaking. We supply American White Ash. ## Ready to Order? Access live availability, request a quote in minutes, and ship worldwide with full compliance and zero hassle.
