Chinaberry or other invasive plant?

Update: after seeing some closeup pics he sent me, I'm pretty confident it's Chinaberry and they'll be his next target. Thanks for everyone's help!

My dad is clearing out small hackberries and some other stuff from his mostly naturalized back yard and sent me these two pics. I think they're Chinaberry or Golden Rain Tree, but I don't want to tell him to cut them down until I'm sure they're not pecans. Can anyone help identify? Thanks!

Fall aster species

Hello! I have these two fall asters I bought at different times. The flowers and bloom times are identical, but their leaf shapes are different (toothy, darker, longer on right and smoother, rounder, lighter on left).

Also, the one on the right puts out long flower stems with multiple flowers, and the one on the left has fewer flowers per stem. Does anyone know what species I'm working with here? Thanks!

Edited to say: these bloomed in the spring this year and last year, and bloom more heavily in the fall.
