I'm battling my "tree of heaven" after a number of years not quite realizing that's what I had. I didn't
cut down moma 'cause I didn't know what it was. By the time it seeded everywhere, I figured it out.
My DH cut her down & I cut down the 15-20 seedlings big enough for a saw, bagged all the seeds
and threw them away. And then I pulled out the hundreds / thousands of seedlings. How'd ya like this
spot? They are all over and I promised myself I'd never bring in any invasives. But there was one
here already. ARRRrrrgggghhh.

PS: Terry - I need you here to bat those eyes & bring a real tree surgeon to my place. I've had no luck
at all & my DH doesn't have me as benefitiary on his life insurance so he's not allowed any more
tree climbing/life risking removal exploits!
