Were there stinky glands on the leaflet edges?

Close-up of leaflets added. I didn't check whether the glands were smelly. I didn't realise the plants grew so quickly.

Photo 3 had the wrong coordinates when I added it so I downloaded and reloaded photo 1. The system records the coordinates of the last photo loaded which is a bit of a trap.

Yep it is the tree from hell - make sure you cut and dab every stem

There are lots of seedlings that could be sprayed or even pulled out. Would any roots grow?
