You may want to have a seat for this. I was out and about today and I see this in somebody's front yard.
At first look, I thought "how pretty". I thought, "could it be a late blooming Red Buckeye"? And then I got closer.
"Oh God", its Ailanthus. Somebody is really proud of this foreign weed tree.
What I thought might have been the flowers of a Red Buckeye was just a big Tree-of-heaven in full disgusting seed.
This tree is being planted on this street like its really valuable.
I have a few photos of it, and 2 other smaller Trees-of-Heaven" on this street.

Isn't that funny, that one Ailanthus (943 & 944) with an American flag in front of it?
Out of all those 8 photos there is only 3 trees, all Ailanthus.
945, 946, 947 and 948 are the big one. 949 and 950 is a younger one down the street from it.

Hope I have the id right!
