This map of potential distribution of Tree of heaven has been produced from CLIMATE® modelling and overlayed on suitable overlays with CMA boundaries.

Overlays used:

Land uses: Pasture irrigated and dryland
Broad vegetation types: Dry foothill forest; montane dry woodland; plains grassy woodland; valley grassy forest; coastal grassy woodland; herb-rich woodland; montane grassy woodland; riverine grassy woodland; riparian forest; rainshadow woodland; boinka-raak; mallee woodland; heathy woodland; wimmera mallee/woodland; lowland forest; box-ironbark forest; inland slopes and sedge-rich woodland.

Colours indicate the possibility of Ailanthus altissima infesting these areas. In the non-coloured areas the plant is unlikely to establish as the climate, soil or landuse is not currently suitable.
Red = Very High
Orange = High
Light Green = Medium
Dark Green = Likely
