Well you could if you really want to. I know I take a lot of shots. Thats because it always seems to have something of interest. I've got another one too grown from my neighbours garden. Next year it will be quite big so I'm,expecting more candles.

I see why you love them so. It looks great! I hope it stays under control for you. I could make a section in my favorites of Chrispooks Rhus Sumac. :-)

Oh boy, do they sucker. At least around here. Keep a good eye on it Chrispook. They can sprout up yards and yards away from the mother tree. Also, they can cause skin irritation in some people.

When I moved house I dug a small shoot up in May. It is now growing ionto a fair sized tree.

You will be safe when all the leaves drop as the plant will be resting then.

We have Ailanthus too. They pop up unexpectedly. They are growing in many public places like hedgerows and even cracks near walls. They are considered invasive in Hungary too.

Wow! We have trees similar to this all over this town. I looked up this species on the internet and it appears both the names describe the same tree but the tree in this area is also invasive just as Wizzbang has described. I am constantly removing it even though I do not have an actual tree in my yard. Well, I do but I keep it cut down to the ground. It grows else where through root suckers. It is also not a Rhus or Vinegar tree (their fall color is red) This tree is briefly yellow. The local residents say it is a locust tree but that doesn't fit either.

I finally found the answer (I think). I believe it is an Ailanthus altissima which is considered an invasive undesirable tree originating in China. I guess I will just keep removing its offspring.

Thanks for making me sit up and take notice with your picture. I thought sure the trees in our area were the same as this one in your picture but it did make me dig for information. (always a good thing)

Vinegar tree is it's common name here in Hungary. Nobody knows what a Rhus is!!! I think it's because the seeds (berries) are acidic. In my garden it has space but it has not really thrown out any suckers yet.

Why do you call it a vinegar tree?
Rhus is very invasive in my garden - im always chopping it down! Its everywhere and it grows so strongly that it pushes fences over!!!

They dont seem to be quick growers -not in my garden anyway. I've aquired a few new ones from suckers- theones I don't want I just cut off. I've cut mine back at various times without problems.
