Tree of heaven?

It's an Acer.

Stags Horn Sumach I think. DO NOT BE TEMPTED, the roots run and send up shoots everywhere in a billion mile radius. I get saplings coming up in my greenhouse from 2 doors down.

not acer, looks like it could be an ash tree

It’s a sumac or tree of heaven. If the leaves are serrated, it’s a sumac.

I agree Stag horn Stumach. They are lovely if you have space.

Sumach. Its a weed of a tree. They send suckers up everywhere, difficult to get rid of.

Thanks, looks like a Stag horn Stumach. Sounds a nuisance then. I just removed some bamboo so don't fancy another nuisance. I'll settle for admiring the one at the end of my road.

Not an acer, it has pinnate leaves - lots of leaflets in pairs along a central spine, like a feather or a fern frond. Acer leaves can be so deeply divided that they look like leaflets, but they’re palmate, everything radiating from a single point.

If it’s a Sumach, the shoots will be vaguely furry in spring, like a stag’s new antlers.

Are sumac a nuisance? I have three in my garden (all planted in one small flowerbed by the previous resident).

Yes @SBAM they tend to send out suckers and pop up new growth elsewhere. Some of the smaller less vigorous ones aren't much bother though.

Yes that's a Sumac. We inherited one in our garden and it was pretty unsightly. It did us a service by half of it dying and we removed the rest. We haven't had any problems with suckers in the rest of the garden.

Sumac, brought it in for autumn colour, pulling it out this year due to suckering.

Well here's my mildly embarrassing 'learn something new every day' moment.
At some point in childhood I was told those were mulberry trees, and have never till now questioned that.

Sumach.
