RE: Fwd: Pruning a Princess Tree


Here is the common name problem again.  Around here the Tibouchina is the
princess tree and the Paulownia is the empress tree.

Isn't "Princess Tree" also a common name for Paulownia
tomentosa?

Is Mr. John Young asking about this old-time,
overly-marketed Chinese tree or does he want to know
about Tibouchina (which I've always called Glory
Bush)?
