Point taken 💡👨🎓. Out in nature they are probably not a problem but when they start to clutter up the drive way, that definitely not a welcome headache 😅😅. I didn’t realize that was your driveway at first lol
We get the cotton from the cottonwoods; it’s not as bad as that though. The trees of heaven (ailanthus) that propagate here are pretty insidious too. They were imported during the gold rush. Faulkner and Betty Smith both used them for literary metaphors.
There’s no way to kill them, and they’re the fastest growing tree on the planet. That’s why they’re called trees of heaven, because they’ll keep growing until they get there.
They can be sneaky and conniving.

All those brown things lining the edge of the drive way are Sycamore seeds.

No worries. These tree (in the spring) are horrible for people that suffer with allergies.

I can indeed imagine this being a huge problem for people with allergies in general or to this specific plant kind 😅😅

If they are like these Sycamore trees, I’m sorry. These things are a nuisance.
