Yep agreed, Alianthus.

 

...and if you climb it choose an anchor point double the diameter you would for an ash.

THE most dangerous tree for breakouts I've experienced.

Never experienced one but they always feel like they are about to

I was ringing down a slight leaner and it opened from the top to the bottom, nearly broke my ribs.

 

Although in a bizarre twist it led me here in 2010.

 

I didn't know whether I could burn it on the fire, so I googled it, found this place. Didn't know about forums until then.
