I hate the damn things. They get knarly when they get older and grow in every direction. I cut 3 of'em down just before I sold my last house.

Used to be a big one out on
the east side, but it made the
berries. Dropped limbs all
the time, and if you walked
anywhere close to it you'd
get your feet coated with the
purpley juice and track it
everywhere. Big nice leafy
green limbs would just drop
out of the blue. Way too
dangerous. Might be ok
at least 50 yards from the
house

The neighbor to the north of me has one. It's at least 60 years old and huge. The birds love it. I watch them fly into my feeders in the spring and fly right back to that tree where they nest. He is welcome to them and the mess they create. I get to watch them, he gets to clean up.

Planted one in the backyard about 6-7 yrs ago, wonder if there's something wrong with it, it's staying around six foot tall, the trunk turned into a Y at four feet off the ground.
This fall I'm trimming the branches back to try and force some growth.
Here in the Sonoran Desert they tend to only grow about 40ft, great for shade.

The one we have is ok. Big but not a problem, great for shade. Arizona Ash is the problem we have.
