TOH, if you’re familiar with herbicides, fall is the time to act when the plant sends nutrients down to the roots.
Tree of heaven. Toothed edges near the petioles give it away.
Also host to the spotted lantern flies. Bad news all around.
Tree of Hell
The Devil.
They’re going to seed now in Portland. I’ve seen some absolute units 40-50’ around town. All the babies are at least a quarter mile away. Fuck TOH!
Sometimes called “weed tree”, “stink tree”, or “varnish tree”. Cut a notch around the trunk 1-2 inches deep, a process called girdling, and it will be dead in a couple years.
We’ve always called this a mimosa tree in my southern family. But, yes, invasive either way.
