Why gardeners choose this variety
Tree of heaven has a history that reaches from its Chinese origin to widespread planting and naturalization abroad. Ailanthus altissima was once valued as an adaptable ornamental, but its vigorous spread has made it a major invasive tree in many regions. That change in reputation is an important part of its cultural and horticultural story.
Its compound leaves, winged fruits and rapid establishment can be studied in the context of plant ecology and the consequences of introductions. This is not a recommendation for a new garden shade tree or open-land planting. Before cultivating it, check applicable local restrictions and use a setting that prevents escape. The historical popularity of a tree does not establish its suitability for a present-day landscape.
