As an invasive species, Alanthus, or "Tree of Heaven" has naturalized in this part of Ohio from imported landscape specimens. The state and federal government are spending large amounts of money in an attempt to remove it from private and public lands. I think that horse has left the barn..... It is fast growing, forming large colonies and producing lots of seeds. When cut, it sends up many suckers from the roots. Probably the smart thing to do would be to find a use for it - like maybe biomass.
