If Ailanthis Altisima is so bad why is it call the “Tree of Heaven”.
Someone must have named it before they knew how invasive it is 
If there are Spotted Lanternfly in your area have to think about that too…

Too prone to heart rot. The one I just took down wasn’t that old. It had been pruned, had a steel suspension cable anchoring one branch to the trunk, and the real kicker! Some jackhole poured concrete into the main trunk.
Sadly have some of these in my woodline that need to be taken down. I’ve removed the ones I can safely do by myself. Also had our first spotted lantern fly spotting on it last fall. All of the above statements about the tree of heaven are accurate.
