CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture The tree of heaven,' Ailanthus altissima, is now at the height of its summer color. This tree is a common one throughout the valley, haying been planted in many yards and growing wild along the 'Jacksonville highway near Jacksonville. The brilliance of the color varies considerably from tree to tree. Most of. the trees are seedlings, so we would naturally expect some difference in color. The tree also sends up many root suckers and these suckers would produce the same type of seed pods as the parent tree. Because of the variation in the brilliance of the coloring it is desirable where possible to select a root sucker from a tree which does have desirable colo ration. It may be noted that some of the trees have no seed pods at all. These are male trees. When seeds are planted, about half the trees will be male and half, fe male. During the bloom period in the spring the male trees have a very offensive odor and as they do not develop fall coloring, they are considered undesirable by most people. Native of Orient It is a rather rapidly growing tree and has leaves resembling those of sumac. It is a native of the Orient, but when introduced into this country it flourished to the point where it has become naturalized 'and in many in stances has become a tree weed. It is supposed to be the only in troduced tree on the Pacific coast which has become com pletely naturalized. The tree has two drawbacks. One is, it produces seeds in such a large quantity that they fre quently become a decided, weed in cultivated areas. The other drawback is that the seed pods which are so colorful in the sum mertime remain on the tree dur ing much of the winter and are rather unsightly. Mercy Flights 83rd Patient Taken To LA Bud H.
