It prefers a moist well-drained fertile deep soils in a protected to open sunny position and is frost and drought tender.

Crow's Ash is grown for its spreading dense crown and its attractive bark. It is planted in parks and large gardens as a lawn specimen for shade or used in a rainforest-like setting. It establishes 3 to 5 years and is long lived. The seed pods are used in floral arrangements and the durable timber is used for general building purposes.ID 523
