Hello All
I agree an attractive tree and very fast growing (in Essex).
Root system can cause a lot of direct damage to paths and light
structures,also suckering is a problem.
There are a lot of them on railways-they seem to colonize this kind of
environment.
I think they may become a problem in time.
Regards
Rick

Yes - vigorous, invasive colonisers are detrimental to diversity.

One would imagine there are a lot of things on England's undesirable list
but doesn't diversity come into it anywhere?

Aren't they on Natural England's' undesirable list?

There's a beautifully formed thriving specimen adjacent to St. Annes Hall
in
Babbacombe which someone planted not so many moons ago. Excellent choice

Watch out if global warming comes, Topher - in hotter countries they are a
real pest and sucker/seed everywhere; in uk at present, I agree - a real
star of a tree. When I was a student, squatting in S London in the
people's
republic of Lambeth, there were Ailanthus as garden trees in the old
Victorian terraces of railway workers houses - really gave a lift to the
area.

Agree with you on germination - we have them springing up all over the
placefrom our big tree.
But what a star it is - I remain mystified as to why they are not much more
widespread, at least in this part of the world.
