Hence the popular name of these plants - "burning bush". May cause skin burns if not handled carefully. Probably, it is the dictamnus that is referred to in the Bible when describing the wanderings of Moses with the Jewish people through the desert on the way from Egypt to the Promised Land.

Description: 6 species are known to grow in the temperate and subtropical regions of Eurasia. Perennial rhizomatous herbaceous plants up to 90cm tall. The leaves are pinnate, similar to ash leaves, hence its second name. Large, white, pink, reddish, lilac flowers are collected in racemose inflorescences. The fruit is a capsule, with black, shiny seeds. They contain a large amount of essential oils that are released during the ripening period of the seeds. In culture, 2 types are common: white and Caucasian. The rest are almost never found in our gardens.
In nature, ash trees most often grow in light forests, on the edges, among shrubs or on rocky and grassy slopes. Plants are very stable in culture, feel good both in full sun and in partial shade, better in dry places and any cultivated soils. They can live in one place for a very long time.

Large perennial  Dictamnus golostyolbikovy -
Dictamnus gymnostylis Stev.
It occurs in the regions of the Middle Dnieper, Lower Volga, Lower Don, in the Crimea, in the North Caucasus and in Western Transcaucasia. Grows in light forests and shrubs. Perennial. The stem to the very bottom is densely, long, more or less curly-fluffy, 40-80 cm high. The leaves are odd-pinnate, with three to four pairs of large elliptical or elongated-elliptical, less often oblong, usually not drawn, blunt or acutate at the apex, along the edge of unfolded, serrated, densely long-fluffy leaves below, terminal at the base usually rounded, on narrow-winged petiole. The axis of the leaf is densely long-fluffy, narrow-winged. Inflorescence racemose, rarely paniculate, more or less glandular. Bracts lanceolate, acute, long-haired. Sepals lanceolate, acute, 5-7 mm long. Petals are pinkish, with purple veins, 2.5-3 cm long, oblong, sharp, sharply tapering into a relatively short nail. Ovary and style bare. Blooms in May - June. It is pollinated by insects, self-pollination is prevented by the movements of the stamens and the style: the flowers are protandric, and the stamens first lie on the petals, rising by the time the pollen ripens, the style is elongated by the time the anthers ripen, but curved down, it straightens after the dusted stamens again fall on the petals. The ash tree is often called the "burning bush", since the plant has a lot of glands that produce essential oils, which are especially intensively released into the dry, hot weather; if at this time a lit match is brought to the plant, a flame will flare up around it, but the plant itself remains intact - this is the burning of essential oils. If you touch the plant, you can get burns. Decorative. Photo Zakutnaya Natalia |

Meadows and meadow steppes, clearings in the forest belt, especially juniper. Perennial. Stem 50-100 cm tall, densely downy, often glabrous or shortly downy at the bottom. Leaves pinnate with (3)5-6(7) pairs of leaflets. Leaflets oblong or oblong-elliptic, attenuated at the tip, sharp, finely serrate along the edge, from below, mainly along the veins, long downy or glabrous. The leaf axis is fluffy. Inflorescence racemose paniculate or racemose, strongly glandular. Bracts linear-lanceolate, acute, downy. Sepals 7-8 mm long, downy. Petals (2.5) 3.5-4.5 cm long, pale pink, with purple veins, lanceolate or oblong. Filaments of stamens are hairy. Ovary more or less hairy, with horns. The column is naked. Capsules are hairy, with long horns. The intracarp dries up, twists, and when the box is opened, the seeds are scattered. The seeds are shiny. Blooms in May-June; fruiting in July-August. Economic value. Highly poisonous plant. The essential oil secreted by the glands is very volatile and in hot weather close range causes burns on human skin and the appearance of dark spots.

Care: normal. Weeding, loosening (or better mulching) of the soil, occasional watering and fertilizing (preferably with alkalizing fertilizers). In central Russia, it winters well under the snow without additional shelters.
Reproduction: seeds, dividing the bush and cuttings. Seeds ripen in August, if not followed, the fruits crack, and the seeds scatter within a radius of 3 m. They are sown immediately after harvesting in open ground. When sown in autumn, part of the seeds germinate only after a year. Seedlings dive at a distance of 15 cm, grow for 2-3 years, then planted in a permanent place, bloom for 3-4 years. The division of the bush is carried out in spring or autumn. AT summer time transplantation and division lead to the death of the plant. The divided parts are planted 35-40 cm apart and watered abundantly. In one place can grow 8-10 years. Cuttings are cut from young, non-lignified shoots, for better rooting treatment with heteroauxin is required.
Usage: in solitary and group landings, mixborders. Ash trees are good in rockeries, which corresponds to their nature, because in their homeland they settle among the stones. You can also grow them in fertile flower beds, where they will decorate the central part of the flower garden, away from the paths.

In nature, ash is undemanding to growing conditions. He can cling to a rock, put down roots in a crevice between stones. But at home, the ash tree is planted in cultivated soil. The ash tree is propagated by seeds or.
Features of propagation by seeds:
- Seeds are harvested until fully ripe, otherwise they will shoot out of the box and scatter.
- Sow in autumn or spring. It is better to sow immediately after harvest, because during storage they lose their germination.
- Sometimes seeds sown in autumn germinate in spring. Therefore, it is better to mark or fence off the sowing site.
- If the seeds have sprouted very densely, thin out so that the distance between plants is about 20 cm.
- The first year they grow very slowly. In the second or third year they are transplanted to permanent place.
- The ash tree, the burning bush, will bloom in the 3rd or 4th year.

Ash will not grow on damp soils. Tolerates some shade. Will not grow in shade. Ash trees are planted on the southern or western slopes.

Feed with fertilizer for flowering plants, make humus.
The soil around the plant is constantly loosened. This is necessary in order not to drown out the plant. You can plot near the ash tree with a thick layer of grass, straw, peat. It needs to be added throughout the season.
Ash is grown in flower beds, placed in single landings and groups: in mixborders, where it is adjacent to flowers and plants different terms flowering.

The wound that forms after the blister bursts does not heal for a long time. Then in its place appears dark spot, which disappears only by the next spring. But mostly it's about wild plants. Cultivated plants almost completely lose poisonous properties. However, in hot weather, it is better to work with ash with gloves and long-sleeved clothing. In the cool time of the day they are not dangerous.
All parts of the plant contain a large number of essential oils, alkaloids, flavonol glycosides, anthocyanins, bergapten and others useful material. Fatty acids are in the root.
