Noted on a site yesterday of the Australian Association of Bush
Regenerators that Paulownia kawakami (Powtown Sapphire Dragon) is on their
list of trees that their Bushland Weeds Education Group, (Sydney) recommend
should be removed from parks and not be cultivated adjacent to bushland for
the Sydney Region. Under the same heading is the shrub 'murraya paniculata'
- a big seller in mainstream nurseries for landscaping, hedging etc. (They
note that they are not condemning the home gardener or horticulturalist who
has used these plants in good faith, as many of these plants have nly
recently shown themselves to be weeds.)
