<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to East Asia and now found in many parts of the world. It typically reaches a height of 15-25 metres, but can grow even higher in favourable conditions. The tree is characterised by its great adaptability to different environments and is able to thrive even on adverse sites. The leaves are pinnate and consist of several pairs of glossy, green leaflets. In summer, the Tree of Heaven develops dense inflorescences with small, greenish flowers. The fruits are flat, papery seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Ailanthus altissima is considered very resilient and therefore difficult to control. Its presence can have a negative impact on native vegetation by suppressing it and enriching the soil with nitrogen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
