| Ailanthus altissima Tree of heavenA weedy tree with few redeeming features, the tree of heaven was probably named by someone with a rather droll sense of humor. It is quick to spread and grow, and for this reason is probably only usable along highways and other difficult areas where "more desirable" plants cannot be grown.| Habit: | Rounded to oval | | Size: | 40-60' high | | Color: | Medium-dark green | | Texture: | Medium in summer, coarse in winter | | Hardiness: | Zone 5a USDA | | Habitat: | China | | Family: | Simaroubaceae | |
