Ailanthus altissima
INVASIVE WEED
This fast-growing, prolific seed producer
easily resprouts and quickly multiplies. Tree of heaven competes
with surrounding
plants for resources, has an unpleasant odor, and produces
toxins that inhibit the growth of nearby plants. The toxins may
be poisonous to wildlife and humans. At mid-elevations
(3000-5000 ft), tree of heaven is invasive, while at lower
elevations in urban areas, it is considered a nuisance. |
