    Hi,

    Can you please help me identify this tree. My sister showed me this picture which she has taken at the Delta Loop on Highway 12 (Rio Vista, CA). I would also like to know where I can buy a tree like it that I can plant in my backyard.

    Your reply will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Ailanthus altissima, tree of heaven.
    This tree is considered invasive in many areas.

    That's not huge! Even 20 metres tall wouldn't be particularly huge for an Ailanthus.
