Hi all, tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is the subject of a research project. It's an obnoxious, non-native tree that can grow nearly anywhere with a bit of water, and is perhaps the most-rapidly growing tree in No. America.

Question: Does anyone have experience, or know of someone who might, in germinating Ailanthus?

(I won't be planting it wild, but running some controlled field and greenhouse tests.)

Thanks for any help!
