Anyone !!!!! I am asking for help identifying this tree/shrub that is growing in my yard for the past 25 years.... I know it originally came from the Vancouver area but have no idea what it is.. Can u answer me the following; #1) What is the proper name.... Is it a tree/shrub/weed ???? #2) What is the best method to transplant and at what time of year etc....And best care etc.......Any information would be appreciated.....To date we have called it the 'MANITOBA PALM" I am going to try again to attach photos..... If anyone can give me some information please email me directly....Thanks in Advance.. Bill Kletke
Ernie... thank-You for trying to identify my tree..... I looked at the pictures of a Ailanthus Altissima and it seems that tree grows very large...This shub of mine only grows to about 15 ft. with almost bamboo looking main stems... The whole branch falls off after the first frost.... After that I am left with thse dried "bamboo" looking stems....Does that help you ????? Thanks Again... Bill Kletke
Makes sense, A. altissima is not hardy in Manitoba, so it is growing as a dieback perennial. The 'branch' is actually a compound leaf & will fall off come Fall.
