#fringetree

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.

Plant of the Day

The airy, slightly fragrant, creamy- white flowers of Chionanthus virginicus (fringe tree, old man's beard, poison ash) looked beautiful against the silver-grey wood of this barn in the Tangled Garden, Nova Scotia, Canada. This deciduous shrub is a native of Eastern North America.
