[shart_attack]

Give us a pic of a tree whose name isn't in the url or attachment, and we'll see if we can name it.

Roscoe, the tree looks like a Roscoe. Is that the tree's name?

sycome?

Nope (as far as I know since I couldn't find any link between this tree at that guess).

Here is a clue though: It has a three-sided seed pod.

It is actually called a Golden Rain Tree. They were making a pun on the sex fetish of getting off by being pissed on.

Try this one, which I call "the worst tree in the world", due to it being invasive and fast growing. Native to China, but it grows all over the US now.

Looks to me like what we call sumac (though I don't know that what we call sumac really is sumac). I know whatever that thing is, I have a dozen around the fringes of my property. I have trouble telling them from pecans when they are smaller, but because people call them sumac, I do not touch them.

It is Ailanthus, or Tree-of-Heaven.

Ailanthus altissima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The leaves do look very similar to Smooth Sumac. Which, by the way, is harmless. Poison Sumac is a swamp plant, with leaflets that are shorter and rounded.

The easiest way to tell sumac from ailanthus is that ailanthus stinks. Crush a leaf, ailanthus has a powerful rotten peanut butter odor. And the ailanthus leaves have smooth edges, while sumac is lightly serrated. And sumac has the red berries in the fall. Sumac is a nice native plant, keep that. If it's ailanthus, kill it, kill it now.

So who has the conch now?

Nobody answered it correctly. So do you have another tree with which you wanna stump lol us, mamooth? Or are you deferring?

It is 12:30 at night. I might have to wait until daylight to keep from aggravating the neighbors. I hope civilization does not hang in the balance.
