Beware of the sap. It can lower blood pressure. That is why the Chinese brought the Tree of Heaven(Hell) to our beautiful Sierras when they came as laborers durring the gold rush. It was both medicinal and good luck. Now the invasive species, with its toxic root secretions is killing native trees all over the place. Since you would be keeping it in a pot, and I hope pulling all of the seed pods without fail so they don't spread to your neighbors, it could be a redemption of purpose.
