The preferred habitat of Pumpkin Ash is inundated river bottoms and swamps where it develops a swollen base, thus the reference to a pumpkin. It is scattered about the state in small pockets, but most prevalent in the southwestern counties. Leaves have 5-9 leaflets with the rachis, or central stem of the leaf, densely pubescent. Twigs are stout and grayish-brown in color.
