| Résumé : |
Fraxinus ornus L., commonly known as manna ash, is a small-medium deciduous tree, producing abundant large and scented inflorescences which attract several pollinating insects. Its range covers southern-western Europe with isolated population in South Turkey, western Syria and Lebanon, occurring typically in Mediterranean temperate hill and mountain mixed forests. It is a frugal and fast-growing plant, able to colonise open habitats, especially if disturbed by animal browsing, wildfires, landslides and logging. Manna ash forests are managed as mixed coppices for firewood production. In few rural areas of Sicily this ash is still cultivated for the production of manna, the crystallised sap, which has a bittersweet taste and it is used as sweetener, laxative and digestive. This plant does not have serious threats. |
