    Is it damaged? Is it diseased / dying or hurting? Or are you just asking if you should or shouldn’t keep the tree?

    Evidently nobody remembers the last regular tree we got here, when I unilaterally decided to allow non-cannabis trees. Shrubs on the other hand will earn the poster a 3-day ban.

    Further comparisons to reddit will also earn a 3-day ban. That place sucks and this place is rad. Don’t @ me.

        I wonder about this, as climate changes, wouldn’t it make more sense to facilitate the movement of plants so they can survive?

          I doubt it. There’s whole ecosystems and food chains to consider. It’s one thing for a plant native to Mexico to move north to southern USA—the whole ecosystem can move with it. But, a tree from China spreading through the UK could still wreak havoc.

          “Invasive” rarely means something from slightly warmer region nearby. It means something that is introduced and has no natural constraints—predators, competitors, diseases, etc.

  • Looks like ash to me but need a better picture of the compound leaves.

    Where are you located? If you’re in the eastern half of the US, might as well put it out if it’s misery after confirming it is an ash. The emerald ash boring beetle is an invasive insect set to kill pretty much every ash tree in the US. Plant sometime else in its place.
