I understand that pollen/seeds are carried to one plant from the other one way or another but how far should I search? My neighbors trees are a fair distance away. However, there's an entire mountain range down and across the road. Also, I have a few acres of woods behind me and there's a large tree farm behind that.!potatoes! wrote:my impression is that ailanthus/tree of heaven (known here as 'stinktree) isn't near as antisocial as walnuts.
but yes, compare smells with other neighborhood pinnate-leaved trees.
