Description

I request the removal of an invasive Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) on City property adjacent to my home in Richmond, VA. It spreads aggressively through root suckers into my yard, producing hundreds of shoots every spring that grow 16 inches in weeks. Despite professional care, it is degrading my lawn. This invasive tree is also the primary host for the destructive Spotted Lanternfly. Please evaluate this tree for removal. Thank you.
