There is the lesser known Pinus Fly Trap. Used to discourage things from urinating on your property. Make sure all zippers are closed before handling. It's not called the Lorena Bobbit plant for nothing.

Desmodium gyrans. Because plants that dance are creepy.

Thanks to Pat and Travis for your suggestions. You have given me the motivation to communicate with local neighborhood groups to deal with the tree of heaven in an organized fashion.

Yesterday I also noticed a number of these trees growing in the freeway landscaping near downtown Los Angeles. I spotted over 100 young A.altissimas in only one quarter mile stretch of the freeway. CalTrans also needs to take notice of this rapid infestation of the tree of heaven.
