Tree of heaven, notorious for suckering and popping up all over!

Not 100% on this, but I get it a lot too. There is an Ash tree in the landscaped communal garden beyond the back garden fence and I assume it is this. It’s a mature tree & produces kazillions of seeds every Autumn. Thankfully it pulls up easily at this stage.
Ready to be corrected.

Tree of Heaven or a Sumac Tree.
Both are invasive although we have kept one Sumac Tree as we get good shade from it. that is often needed in the heat of the summer in SW France.
We cut any shoots that emerge regularly and neither are banned here but the Tree of Heaven is banned in the UK.

Looks like Sumac “Tiger Eye”

On Gardener’s Question time once a viewer asked the panel what the best position for a Sumac Tree was. The panel’s answer was “In someone else’s garden”.
Actually my father has one in his garden, but he’s fearful of the neighbour complaining about any suckers that should pop up, and sometimes sneaks in to next door’s garden to remove any he sees!

This is Staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina). Native to North America and occasionally planted in the UK. It spreads via suckering and likes to spread out like you see here. I’ve heard you can actually prune them into a hedge!
