There don't appear to be any leaves yet, and there are clusters of flowers or seeds which are light brown. Picture taken March 12 in St. Louis.

I thought Ailanthus as well. There were trees in PA that at winter's end were loaded with the brown seed pods as shown in the photo.

Yes, I know and I could not rule out from the picture that it did or didn't have opposite branching.

"Yes, I know and I could not rule out from the picture that it did or didn't have opposite branching."

That was meant for the OP more than anyone else since he/she
