Hi. I’m in the midst of a few creative projects involving the Tree of Heaven (nicknamed the Cum Tree) here in Toronto, where its growth is truly prolific.

It is great to discover upon an effort to describe ailanthus in our cultural consciousness. I am an artist in Baltimore creating a sculpture and public action which incorporates the tree of heaven, called the tree of hell by a plant conservator i spoke to today. I am using the ghetto palm to represent the “outer” regions of BMORE city, the abandon lots and homes, the urban ruins, and the will of the plant to survive where no other would dare. In the action we are collecting the debris from the sidewalks in the city and it will become incorporated in the planting of the ailanthus. Let me know what you think, Ill send you a pdf about the project
