Left) Burning Bush - The one in the background was planted by the landowner. The rest are it's offspring.
(Right) Japanese Stilt Grass - Commonly found on trails and edges of woodlands. the iridescent stripe on each leaf gives it away.
(Left) Ailanthus - Also known as Tree-of-Heaven, this tree is very aggressive. The log section shown in this picture is 14" in diameter. Those are large growth rings! Trees that grow this fast in Indiana are not worth anything when considering timber harvesting.
(Right) Bradford/Callery Pear - Similar to Ailanthus, this species can be exceptionally vigorous. This specific tree grew up in the lane of a White Oak tree planting. It is important to note that the pear is younger than the oak, but has still managed to outgrow them in height and diameter. The pear was removed during our Forest Improvement work.
