"The toxic Tree of Heaven threatens England's green and pleasant land"

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_ne...874333,00.html



Just read this article in the Observer and was wondering where abouts
in the country these trees are and if people have had any experience
with them.

I live in rural West Dorset and haven't seen any... yet.

Thinking perhaps a website clocking the spread of them could be set
up.


This site has some information about distribution. It seems to be mainly
urban (because of its tolerance to pollution).
