Ailanthus altissima is an interesting tree. This tree is used in Chinese traditional medicine and is not dangerous unless very high doses are taken. All parts contain alkaloids, but the leafy parts have a lot of volatile material as well. =
AILANTHUS ALTISSIMA - Tree of Heaven Characteristics The grandly named 'Tree of heaven' is a large tree, reaching a height of 25m (80ft) and has distinctive pale grey bark. Its branches grow up 'towards heaven', hence its common name, while each leaf is split into 13-25 stalked leaflets, each slim and pointed. The leaves turn a reddish golden colour in autumn as do its winged seed pods ...
Ailanthus altissimasuccessfully displace native vegetation due to its rapid growth and root suckering. It produces allergenic toxins in bark and leaves. As these accumulate in the soil, they inhibit the growth of other plants (allelopathic interactions), favour the formation of monospecific stands and inhibit vegetation succession.
A. altissima - A. altissima is a vigorous deciduous tree with smooth, light grey bark, attractive foliage and large panicles of yellow-greenish flowers followed by winged fruit. The individual trees usually produce either male or flowers, and both sexes are required to produce fruit. Foliage Deciduous Tree shape Spreading Toxicity
A large tree planted in streets and parks in urban areas, but rarely found elsewhere. It is extremely tolerant of atmospheric pollution. It grows rapidly, and spreads by suckering, but rarely sets seed in Britain. Lowland. Status Neophyte Trends A. altissima was introduced into cultivation in 1751, but not recorded from the wild until 1935.
Pajasen (Ailanthus altissima /Mill./ Swingle) kao„planta hortifuga" Stručnirad Uvod Ukrasna hortikultura je u neprekidnoj potrazi za novim vrstama, a ova se potreba podmiru- je u manjoj mjeri introdukcijom domaćih, samoniklih vrsta te, u većoj mjeri, uvođenjem u uzgoj i primjenu stranih vrsta iz različitih krajeva svijeta.
Today, ailanthus' quick growth and hardiness have proved to be overwhelming for many ecosystems, and it is widely viewed as an invasive species. The tree is commonly called tree of heaven—from the Ambonese word aylanto (rendered ailanthus in Latin). The name is in reference to the great heights of the tree (helped by a very robust grow rate ...

Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle or Tree of Heaven (Simaroubaceae) is an invasive deciduous tree. High production of seeds dispersed by wind, extremely fast growth (2 m/y), and a high regenerative capacity makes A. altissima easily dispersible and hard to control and therefore is considered one of the worst invasive plant species [1].
Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (hereafter referred to as Ailanthus; also known as tree of heaven), an invasive tree native to China, has been present in North American landscapes for more than 200 years and is widely distributed throughout the eastern United States. The Eastern and Southern Regions of the USDA Forest Service rank it in Weed Category 1: an exotic species known to be ...

Methanol extracts of various plant parts of Ailanthus altissima were tested against the root knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica. Extracts of bark (ABE), wood (AWE), roots (ARE), and leaves (ALE) from A. altissima were investigated against freshly hatched second-stage juveniles (J2). AWE was the most active extract, with EC50/3d of 58.9 mg/L, while ALE, ARE, and ABE did not show nematicidal ...
The bearer must have meant well, for the ailanthus (Ailanthus altissima) isn't a terrible-looking tree. It grows straight-to 60' or 80' tall-and quickly. You'll find it in a wide "natural" range that stretches from the Plains States to the East Coast and northern Michigan to Florida's panhandle. In fact, heat or cold doesn't hinder this species much. Nor poor soil. Nor city smog and smoke ...

Ailanthus (Ailanthus altissima), also called tree-of-heaven, Chinese sumac, paradise-tree, and copal-tree (fig. 1), is an introduced species that has become widely naturalized across the continent. Ailanthus has found an extremely wide variety of places to establish itself, from urban areas to reclaimed surface-mined lands.
Produces many seeds, forms taproot readily, forms abundant root sprouts, clonal ramets. Can form monospecific stands, eliminating other vegetation. Combined with toxins, these strategies appear to give it a competitive advantage. Information about response to shade is contradictory. Per Grime (1965) Ailanthus has a high degree of shade ...
