For example, there may be an impact on native biodiversity caused by the shrub guild (in particular, Japanese barberry, winged burning bush, Chinese spindle-tree, border privet, Japanese honeysuckle, Amur honeysuckle, and multiflora rose). Ailanthus altissima (Simaroubaceae; tree-of-heaven) Native to China, tree-of-heaven is a rapidly growing deciduous tree that can reach a height of 25 m and out-compete native vegetation. It can form dense thickets and produces toxins that prevent the establishment of other species. It mainly invades disturbed habitats but is sometimes NATURAL AREAS INVENTORY OF FT. LEAVENWORTH II 189
