Here's one of the larger, Ailanthus I've ever cut. Had me concerned for my power-line. It was 18" in diameter and about 60' tall, and close to 70 yrs old.
Yeah those Trees of Heaven are a pain, I lead an invasive plant management team in KY and thats is our primary mission to remove all Ailanthus trees in our area. We have ran into some pretty nasty trees that were near roads, electric lines, and houses. Here is a couple of pics of the largest one that I have cut it was 29 in. DBH and only 34 years old. We had already cut about 100 smaller ToH to have a place to drop the two biggest. The largest one is the on closest to the freeway.
whoever imported those trees needs to be shot.
And a tool good for pulling the small stuff is the "weed wrench" - this tool works great! (no connection to them - just a satisfied customer).
