Rank Reasons

Fraxinus gooddingii is in the U.S. in southeastern Arizona, occurring on dry rocky slopes (3600-5000 feet); and in Mexico in northeastern Sonora and the Isla Tiburón. It grows in desert grassland or scrub communities. Possibly 80 extant occurrences (or more) based on herbarium records. This species is not currently threatened by the Emerald Ash Beetle.

Range Extent Comments

Occurs in mountainous regions of southeastern Arizona (Cochise and Santa Cruz Cos.) and northeastern Sonora (including Isla Tiburón), Mexico (Nesom 2010).

Occurrences Comments

In Arizona, there are 25 occurrences. Possibly, 54 or more occurrences in Mexico based on herbarium collections

Threat Impact Comments

Currently (Wagner and Todd 2016), Emerald Ash Beetle, Agrilus planipennis, not documented in the range of F. gooddingii. However, the spread of this invasive beetle is unpredictable and all Fraxinus spp. can host this beetle.
