There are all sorts of plants I would like to grow in my garden but one I would be a little bit hesitant about is Ailanthus altissima, also known as “Tree of Heaven”. It is a delightful looking plant, particularly in autumn, but more so in other people’s gardens. Here are some links that explain the tree’s pestiferous habits:

Anyway, time for a blogging break over the next few days.
