Ailanthus, if the crushed leaves smell bad.....I always called it skunk bush, or skunk tree. The leaves are reddish when young, at the end of the fronds, and they are opposite. Walnut leaves are wider, ailanthus narrower, and walnut leaves are alternate.
I removed all ailanthus from my property this spring, there wasn't much, and they were young. Once you learn to identify it here in the east you'll see it growing everywhere along highways etc.
It's highly invasive, put's out new shoots from the roots, comes up all over the place, plus each mature tree puts out something like 600,000 high germination rate seeds.
Once cut, I painted the stumps with %100 glyphosate.....we'll see what that does to 'em

Dropped another cherry today since it was to wet to get to the rest of the red oak.
