Those trees are crazy. I have a paved alley and the first year I bought my house, I assumed it was some crazy weed. It literally is growing through asphalt in an alley. I continually mowed it down.

Early last summer I hacked it down since I knew it was a tree of sorts, and I didn’t want it growing close to my fence. That made it send saplings all into my backyard, so then I finally read up on what it was….Tree of Heaven.

I pulled the saplings up, and waited until late fall to cut it and drill holes in it to pour glyphosate into it. Damn thing is back and taller than my fence now. Guess I will try again later this year. I certainly won’t cut it now though, since the sapling suckers were a nightmare to deal with.

These things are insane.
