Q: I have a beautiful tree in my yard that has greenish, white tassel-like seed structures hanging in clusters from the tree. Can you tell me what it is?

A: Thanks for the photos. This tree is an ash. We have several species growing in our area: The White Ash, Fraxinus Americana, Carolina Ash, F. caroliniana, and the Florida or Swamp Ash, F. pauciflora. The White Ash is a large tree and the only one that inhabits well-drained sites. The other two species are small to medium sized trees that tolerate wet areas. I suspect your tree is the White Ash.
