Now that's disturbing, Dean. I cut down a lot of trees of heaven and I
usually shred the smaller branches and leaves and use them in compost and
when making new beds. Good way to start a new bed, huh, with a layer of
herbicide? I have heard that amor honeysuckle does excrete some chemical
that inhibits the growth of plants around it but never heard this of
ailanthus before.
