Could some one help me ident this tree

[richy]

Thanks guys I'll go with the general consensus on the tree. We did think sumach initially but it just wasn't furry enough and the non furry varieties have serated leaves.

Obviously it should never have gone in or been left 15years plus. My clients are into eco living and living the GOOD LIFE. Let's call them Richard and Felicity! We are all for removal but even though it could come down in one without any probs I think I'll let them get one of you guys in. As for the date on the photos. We have a great camera. It eats batteries like you wouldn't believe so we take them out when we aren't using it. As one of you pointed out I am a lazy arse. It's to much hassle to redo the date every time.

 

Thanks again

I think the furry ones are the female but could be wrong.

You would know if it was a staghorn because there would be loads of suckers about.

Possibly Melia azedarach -Indian bead tree. -just to trhow a random spanner in the works!

Deffo ailanthus....just try cutting it down and see what happens........LOL

 

These things are unkillable, and will sucker from the root system metres away from the original stump, so even grinding isnt a guaranteed way to get rid of it.

Thats the joy of common names! Can be whatever you think sounds good at the time

On further thought regarding the Melia they are relatively intollerant of frost so I could well be taking you fulla's out on a limb here!

Just to through another spanner in the works, what about a wingnut? the leaf unions look on the large side for a tree of heaven
