What kind of tree is this? Should I transplant or kill it?


Not sure if this is the best sub for this, but I live in Round Rock and have this tree growing in my fire pit that never gets used.

It obviously can't stay there. I do have a space where I could, and want to put a tree but I don't know if this is something I should let grow or not.

Also, what is going on with the leaves? It looks like it might be a fungus? And if so, is it something to be concerned with?

    It’s invasive and it will drop babies around your entire yard for the next 20 years. Kill it.

    Yeah, kill it. Chinaberry. It’s invasive and toxic, but sometimes planted by developers on a budget because it’s fast. As for a tree for where you want one to grow, the Texas Tree Selector is helpful:
