A. altissima - A. altissima is a vigorous deciduous tree with smooth, light grey bark, attractive foliage and large panicles of yellow-greenish flowers followed by winged fruit. The individual trees usually produce either male or female flowers, and both sexes are required to produce fruit.
The more nutrient-rich the soil is, the stronger the growth. But even on barren and nutrient-poor soils, the tree of the gods can grow up to 20 meters high. The ornamental tree is ideal for the city. Air pollution and emissions from industry and traffic are not enough for him. It is resistant to road salt, herbicides and dryness.
The plant is possibly poisonous. Male flowers have potentially allergenic pollen. The leaves are toxic to domestic animals. Gardeners who fell the tree may suffer rashes. The odour of the foliage is intensely disagreeable and can cause headache and nausea, rhinitis and conjunctivitis.The pollen can cause hay fever
