Small, low-branching tree planted in front of a church in Baltimore County. The tree blooms late in the season and has smooth bark.
Can you name it?

| Looks a bit like my Bottlebrush buckeye, except for the scalloped leaf-edges, and too many leaflets. So that's not it. |

| Can you take a picture of the bundle scar from a newly removed leaf? |
RE: Unknown Tree

This tree blooms in late August, sorry no bundle scars.

| Tree of heaven maybe? It looks so similar except for the texture of the leaves. I'm sure it must be in the same family. But it does look beautiful those trees usually are ratty and have a drab characteristic to my neighbors lol |

| I would go with nearly same guess as pineresin, but not shiny, so I guess it is Rhus chinensis. |

| Tree-of-heaven?...not even close unless there's another tree called that, that I'm not aware of. I think Rhus chinensis is likely. |
RE: Unknown Tree

| yeah tree of heaven is its actual name sounds weird but it is true. Still uncertain about the species. My friend made the terrible mistake to think of it being a black walnut tree XD |

| I think brandon is quite familiar with Ailanthus' common name... ;) A rhus is all I can think of either... |

| Gardenapprentice, you might want to google-image 'tree of heaven'. Sam's tree doesn't even resemble it. |

| Rhus chinensis is propably right, it seems to have those strange "winged" leaf stalks. |
