Autumn is probably hanging out in the same place you can find spring when we’ve all had enough of winter. As always …. hope you're doing well... it seems like there's no spring or fall anymore it's winter and summer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You found it growing out of sewer grates, subway air shafts, your roof. As a kid in the early 50’s because of the pungent odor, when you broke a branch, we called it the Brooklyn stink tree. Even though the ailanthus seemed to rarely reach hard wide trunk adulthood it never seemed to lose its ability to multiply. My young opinion of it changed when I watched the movie ‘A Tree Grows In Brooklyn’ I never thought of it as a stink tree after that. Battered, bruised, cut, maligned and it still continued to struggle to grow. As always …… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
