Pumpkin Ash Fraxinus tomentosa

This ash is rare in Canada and is only found in the most southern regions.  It has the largest leaves, leaflets and fruits (keys) of the native ashes, and is most tolerant of standing water.  Often it is found in places that are flooded nearly all year.  Its twigs and leaves tend to be hairy.
