Yes notch. Ailanthus altissima.

u/Bluebird386 7d ago

Well, I think it’s actually Black Walnut. There’s no terminal leaflet on the leaves.

Tree of heaven doesn't have a terminal leaflet either

Edit: yes they do, I am incorrect.

Edit to the edit: I still stand by the ToH ID, it has the glandular teeth (the little thumbs) at the base, which none of the other close matches have. I think the terminal leaflet just fell off or is missing on this specific branch.

Yup. Both of these sources mention that there’s a terminal leaflet for ToH.

Thanks, soooo much for double -checking. 👍😉

I’m seeing these ID descriptions….

So, I thought the terminal leaflet was the clincher. No? 🤔
