Purple Smoke Tree? Or not?
+3
I ordered a purple smoke tree 3 years ago had a real slow start but this year it has really taken off! Problem I don't think that it's a smoke tree and have no idea what it is. Can anyone help me to identify it? If I need to remove it I rather do it now before it gets much bigger.

I can tell you that it is NOT a purple smoke tree! smoke trees actually have a smaller and rounder leaf and it would be purple LOL It actually looks a lot like Tree of Heaven which is invasive or I am thinking a Sumac tree
