I would have been tap dancing on the driveway! I have them all over the property. Actually they are everywhere up and down our highways.

I agree with Treelover, what a loss. The flowers and shrubs we can almost see instant gratification but trees are special. Lucky for you it fell away from your house/cars.

Most trees yes, but this has become a very invasive tree, destroying the habitation of other species as it shades them out and is so aggressive. The seeds land up everywhere-and pulling them leaves a very noxious scent.
