noun
Japanese flowering ash
A deciduous tree native to Japan, Fraxinus sieboldiana. The name is a botanical term; in everyday contexts it may be referred to simply as アオダモ.
マルバアオダモは山地に自生する落葉高木です。
The Japanese flowering ash is a deciduous tree that grows naturally in mountainous areas.
アオダモ is a broader common name for Fraxinus species in Japan, while マルバアオダモ specifically refers to Fraxinus sieboldiana with rounder leaves.
The name combines 丸葉 (round leaf) and 青だも (aodamo, a general term for ash trees). The exact origin of だも is uncertain.
