Plum, Elm Problem

Front_Range_Guy · 22nd July 2009, 12:39 PM

It started on Elm trees in the alley and spread to a plum in the back yard.

Also, what is this? Grows like a weed!

Thanks!

Sorry, can't figure out how to edit post and don't have time to figure it out right now. Here's the plum.

the weed looks like Ailanthus altissima or tree of heaven.
they certainly do grow like a weed! it is on the weed list in my country( i think).

My neighbor has these things. I've noticed they break very easily in storms. They're incredibly invasive. They're constantly sprouting up all over my yard and they grow fast.
