The Flowering Ash has brown wing-fruit that are a bit smaller (2-3cm) than those of the Common ash and the flowers look like fluff, while the flowers of the Common ash is smaller and less eye-catching. The Narrow-leaved Ash has dark-brown buds as characteristic, the Common ash has non-shiny black buds (2).
