This superficially looks like Ailanthus altissima, has a similar growth habit/shape, but is very much smaller! The leaf stalk is noticeably hairy.

This was not just one stunted altissima specimen - there were many of these, growing to about 3 meters height.

Do your best!

congratulations, looks like you found the last pop of Rhus coriaria in Malta.

And thanks for the id, also of the second tree, your brain must be very organised... and yes you are 100% about the location too.

i worked for 6 months in that particular location and its hard to overlook the big things you posted. but there are a lot of nice tiny little plants in the area (maybe not at the moment, the site was very dry and bare in Oct).
