The seeds get carried quite far as they use "wings" to spread. If you
have a mature ash anywehere near, the seeds end up everywhere. It and
sycamores are the commonest tree "weeds" I have had in the last 2
gardens. If you have the room it is a nice weed to encourage though
but as already pointed out, they get big :-).

In my area it's maple - I've got a couple of 6 foot maples that have
just shown themselves and several other saplings dotted about the place.
