Thank you. Wife liked it and said let it grow. Comes out today and will deal with roots.Tree of heaven. They are invasive, nasty weeds.
No, that's walnut.Trying to figure out what keeps springing up in the back yard. Tried finding it on the net, no luck. Never seen a flower. Perhaps I keep cutting it down before it has a chance to bloom. Thank you for any help.

I cut it back every year. Always comes back.Moot point because it's dead
It will. When it comes back and has a few leaves wet them with some round up. Or dig it out.I cut it back every year. Always comes back.
Agree that is tree of heaven photo shown (I don't mean the photo in the OP). I hate those tree of heaven plants personally. To know for sure u could find a "dichotomous key" and follow to find out. Probably some d. Keys online. I know I have some in books but don't know where they are at the moment. Could be an English walnut with squirrels planting them all over.No, that's walnut.
Look how narrow and pointed the leaves are on Tree of Heaven

Get a pet owl. They love squirrels.Problem with walnuts. "Squirrels"! Little bastids! The tree isn't in my yard, it two doors over. Which is even worse because the little vermin bring them into my yard to burry. Bushy tail RATS crawl all over and through my cucumber and bean trellises messing up the plants. And they dig everywhere else the rest of the year trying to find each others nuts!
If I had English walnuts I'd cut 'em off!

If you want to kill it for good, you will need to kill its roots. For woody plants like this one but without a tree trunk you can target, what you will want to use is a Triclopyr based herbicide. This chemical is especially potent when used on trees and vines. In your local big box store, they will typically be branded as "Brush Killer" and common brands include Bayer and Ortho.I cut it back every year. Always comes back.
Good advice. I use the Bayer Brush killer on black locust. I wait until it grows to about an inch or so diameter trunk (and thatIf you want to kill it for good, you will need to kill its roots.

Go get a bottle of this and mix it according to the label, usually 4oz per gallon of water when using the big box store 8% triclopyr type branded as Bayer or Ortho Brush Killer. Use a pump or battery powered sprayer and set the spray head to a fine droplet. Then spray and coat the leaves, stems and any other parts of the plant you can reach.
If you apply now and it comes back in fall, spray again. Usually 2 applications at the correct label rate will kill it.
Trouble of squirrels? A cat is your cheap and easy answer.
That's what I was thinking.No, that's walnut.
