tree of heaven

Honeybees actively forage on Tree of Heaven for its plentiful nectar and moderate pollen supplies during the late spring to early summer bloom. The inconspicuous flowers, arranged in large panicles, offer a brief but intense foraging opportunity, typically lasting a few weeks per tree. This fast-growing species thrives in disturbed, urban, or poor soil habitats and requires management to prevent it from forming thickets due to prolific suckering.
