Trees in central california that grow like crazy! They sprout up everywhere and need no shade or water to grow and in one year can easily go from seedling to well over a foot tall

You're welcome! I used to wonder what those trees were too. They look similar to Walnut, so I'd get confused by those leaves!
@oxyjack - YES! Thats it. Thank you so much for the help i was told years ago what they were and couldnt remember to save my life. I Appreciate it.
looks like Stag horn Sumac. In the case of Tree Of heaven ,each leaflet in the compound Leaf has a tooth. In this case the entire margin of the leaf seems crenated.
Wish there were more pictures, but it looks to me like Tree of Heaven, Alianthus altissima. It was introduced into California from China during the gold rush and has since spread all over the state. It grows like a weed in the central valley.
Could very well be Marcus!!
Looks like the pecan tree that CindyBinghamKeiser posted too: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/112...
I have seen these so many times. They are all over!!
