I have these trees in my backyard that are basically more like WEEDS than trees. They seem to grow anywhere, and they grow tall. The trunks or stalks of these trees get fairly thick but they are extremely easy to cut through. The leaves leave a strong, peculier oder on your hands when touched.
I had a tree guy come to my house and he told me these were "Lanthis trees". I looked all over the internet and found no mention of such things.
Please help me identify these trees. Thanks.
