This Crap just started to show up here in the Texas Panhandle about 5 years ago....and now it is all over....and growing like a grove in some peoples yards....it is useless....ain't even worth burning.......and I like my Silver Maples by the way!!!

What part of the pan handle are you from?  I just moved from Texas.  Waco...

A good buddy of mine, has some family land up there just south of Shamrock.  That place has 2 shelter belts of 2 to 3 rows each of nutin but Osage!  The belts run the entire width of the ranch!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if he would chop me a nice straight branch next time he goes up there to hunt?  I wonder how much it would cost to ship me the entire trunk of that tree!!!

I live about 110 miles Southwest of Shamrock.....my Deer Lease is about 30 miles east of Shamrock....all kinds of Osage here...but none of it is worth a Crap...too much wind and not enough rain....Trees are crooked as Sin and the Growth rings are as tight as Yew!!!

i know with hedge they say better to have thicker late growth rings than early

but wouldnt tight ringed hedge be more dense than the other?

i know its definatly harder to keep from violating a ring when the yare tight ringed

I hate these trees, I thought that they were a variant of sumac.

  You can keep the Silver Mulberry while you are at it too, I finally killed my neighbors by angling PVC pipe under my back fence towards the roots of his big tree. Best mileage I ever got out of a 5 gallon can of gas and a gallon of Roundup mixed.

ailanthus is amiserable tree. but it does have a use aside from causing me grief. like hillbilly i cut it regularly at work. stuff produces more seeds than crabgrass. it makes great fire boards . problem is i dont need that many boards

[sailordad]

just curios as to what this tre looks like, could some one post a pic


would this be the sumac looking tree ive seen all over the sides of the highway as i was driving in S.C.?

if it is i would give it a try just cause there is so much and it looks pretty straight and fairly thick

Tim, here is a page with a bunch of pictures on it.  It occours throughout most of the US, at least the warmer regions.  It is a lot like cottonwood in density.  I think cottonwood is probably better though.  Justin
