In many cultures, ash trees are associated with life force energy.
The ash tree, with its mighty roots that sink deep into the ground, symbolizes the World Tree―a tree that joined the three worlds: the underworld, middle earth, and the spiritual realm. The ash tree is also linked with the blending of the past, present, and future. In a number of legends, it's connected to the gods, and considered sacred.

Sapwood is the living part of a tree where the sap and water flow. All wood initially grows as sapwood. As the tree ages, the innermost layers of sapwood turn to heartwood, which is no longer living and does not transport nutrients. Sapwood usually has a lighter color than the heartwood that it surrounds.
