#fringe tree

The chionanthus virginicus (or white fringe tree) is honestly fascinating. It was originally categorized as a feminine genus, but later categorized as a masculine one, and some of them bear flowers of both "masculine" and "feminine" fringe trees. It can also propagate by grafting onto ash trees.

It's also native to Missouri and another for the "niche Missouri trees" category.

Paulownia Correspondences & Associations

The paulownia tomentosa (the empress/princess tree or foxglove-tree) is a persistent, exotic, invasive species of tree in the United States that has undergone naturalization in the eastern US. Basically, it is free game on these trees.

There is quite literally nothing about this tree in witchcraft, so I had to make up some stuff based on information available about it.

Second successful flowering of this Fringe Tree (Chionanthus virginicus) in the orchard June 25th. Nowhere near as grand as a fully mature specimen, but it'll grow into it, for now this is a cute start.

Fringe Tree Uses as a Medicinal Herb

Fringe tree is regarded as an excellent stimulating tonic and in modern-day herbal medicine, it is mainly used to treat ailments related to the liver and gallbladder.

Internally, the bark is mostly used as an herbal remedy for gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), but it is also thought to be of value as a treatment and relief for gallstones, jaundice, cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, pancreatitis, enlarged spleen, poor liver function and migraines or headaches due to gallbladder diseases.

In addition, the fringe tree root bark is believed to stimulate the secretion of bile from the gallbladder, strengthen appetite and stomach secretion, and act as a mild but effective laxative.
