Can someone identify the following tree for me?

http://mrbill.homeip.net/downloads/l...Identified.jpg

The tree is growing in a suburban yard in Sunnyvale, California (San
Francisco
Bay Area).

Thanks.


This is a UK (United Kingdom) group, so we are not particularly
qualified to identify Californian trees.

However, try Ailanthus.

Stewart,

Thanks for the name. I believe that is the tree. Apparently it's an invasive
species here in North America as well as in the UK.

Sorry for posting here, but this is the only active gardening group I
could find
on my Usenet feed.

The international/US group is news:rec.gardens. For no obvious reason it
seems to be deny, but there is still a reasonable amount of activity.
