The #treeofheaven #Ailanthus #altissima is a #tree originally native to Asia. It arrived in #Europe as ornamental plant in the #18thcentury and increasingly #naturalized due to its high #adaptability to difficult #ecologicalconditions and its efficient #dispersal. #Globalwarming is further facilitating its current spread.
