Tree of heaven buds have a raised leaf scar. The bark of the tree is smooth.
Tree of heaven can thrive in most soil types and has been used in strip mine reclamation. It may grow from sprouting from roots and is a prolific seeder. The tree can withstand drought but not flooding.
Below is a photo of a tree of heaven that I transplanted in the spring of 1993 or 1994. It was knee high then. Now its 33' high with a canopy spread of 25' and a circumference of 29".
