Questions & Comments

Botanical name = Paulownia tomentosa . . . it is fast growing alright -- and it is listed in many states as an invasive species. All of the reference URLs you listed show how much this is a "pest plant" . . . like Kudzu in tree form! no, thank you!

The links also speak of benefits it has. Also, if this tree was so bad, the government would not allow it to be sold. I' m tiredof you guys coming around here berating my auction! Besides, I'm not the only one who has these seeds on here or in the U.S..
So if you don't like my auction, go find one you do like and keep your
negative comments to yourself!

FYI everyone ... if you notice ...some of my messages coming across garbled,
well, it's b/c I am working with an old and tired laptop with a sick little cursor
that likes to play games with me and jump around, so I'm not typing where I think I am, or sending my message before I am ready, so I can't clean up the mistakes it
caused, or not to mention when I have 2 or 3 whole paragraphs written and all of a sudden they are just gone, b/c my cursor hlighted them and before I realized it, my next keystoke had wiped out everything! So, my apologies ~

Hey Marie, you failed to say something about poke Salad Greens. lol

Sep 29th, 2012 at 10:22:50 PM PDT by

Well, see there, you did it and I don't know about you, but I absolutely LOVE greens of any kind! :) Thanks for the input! :)

Sep 29th, 2012 at 11:17:44 PM PDT by

I love it! Will you have more seeds to auction while I build credits again?

Thank you, Sounds great! Will fan you also! I have tried and tried to fan Marie, but it just won't take for some reason ... but, I am going to keep trying. :)

Sep 28th, 2012 at 5:48:55 PM PDT by

I moonlight (in my spare time, year right) as a computer fixer-upper. I learned the hard way from the "school of hard knocks" out of necessity because I couldn't afford the computer doctor's price. Well, I hate to be the beaer of bad news, but in my opinion all laptops should be gathered up in one huge pike and burnt. Really. Which is why I don't allow one in my house except of course for the nut who's my domestic partner who's working on his third new laptop that's a piece-o-you-know-what. The laptops that I've seen are not worth the bucks. Maybe a student who takes lab notes on it? Then only maybe, but not for the every day pc user. I am not kidding. Everyone I know who has one has a pile of problems. All my friends are included. They like the portability, but they do not like the price it costs to fix the things. Save your change and buy a nice desktop pc and put the laptop back in the box and ship it back to C*%#a along with the other useless stuff we get from there reguarly. I didn't mean to say that, not really. ;>

Sep 28th, 2012 at 4:21:19 PM PDT by

LOL I thik I tend to agree with Marie .... like just now, I just hid and maybe
flagged your comment accidently. :( So sorry! Well, I would give anything
to be on my tower pc, which is currently in storage. But, maybe, I will get
lucky and get the money owed to me and I will be able to buy a new one.
But you are right, laptops are all about convienince and not performance
and reliability!

Sep 28th, 2012 at 6:59:05 PM PDT by

MichiganGramma and Marie180---is there somewhere we can go to talk about this? I've had a lifelong interest in edible wild foods, and nobody to teach me or discuss it with. I am on FB, same name, and would welcome Friend Requests.

Sep 28th, 2012 at 3:24:19 PM PDT by

Sounds like a winner ... "they" say you are never too old to start, learn, begin, whatever, lol I'm in! LOL (Even if I am going to be 70 in Feb!) LOL

Sep 28th, 2012 at 4:03:43 PM PDT by

You have to click on my profile photo. Then look to the right of the phto and you will see number of fans and under that "become a fan". Click on that.
Piece o'cake

Sep 28th, 2012 at 3:13:01 PM PDT by

I will have to try to do it from my phone. My laptop is so messed up, I can't
even get on FB! I go there and get into my page and it is blank! :(
But, I will, one way or another! Just like I AM going to get ANOTHER laptop! One way or another!!! LOL A GOOD one! :)

Sep 28th, 2012 at 4:08:04 PM PDT by

Hahahahaha I've been eating "weeds" for so many years my friends look at me strange when they come to supper. I have a pantry full of home canned stuff I pick out of the woods too. I save a lot of money that way. If people only knew what they were eating when they buy produce at the local stores....at least I know which country my stuff came from, what's not sprayed on it, and what the store bought stuff has to compare. I've been eating wild persimmons this fall while the neighbors are paying $4.99/lb for the store bought ones at Wally World.

Sep 28th, 2012 at 11:45:28 AM PDT by

LOLOL ... Good forHey ... I have tried 3 times to fan you and for
some reau! yoson it won't work! :( I will try again later though .
I never give up! I'm tenacious like a Bull Dog! lol

Kudzu recipes for all the nonbelievers in eating our invasives...if everyone found out about the good eats growing by the roadsides, there wouldn't be any invasives left. It's a well kept secret.

Marie, if you want to pass on any more of your awesome info, on ANY of my auctions, you are MORE than welcome to!
Also many of these beautiful flowers on here are edible and many also have
medicinal benefits! Not to mention a lot of what we call "weeds"! lol

MichiganGramma--- CONGRATULATIONS, and many more birthdays to you! The ribbon went on as my profile picture for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's not a cancer my family has had to deal with directly, but just after I started using it, I found that a neighbor friend had recently lost her right breast to cancer, so it's staying up, for her, and all other survivors.

Sep 28th, 2012 at 10:13:33 AM PDT by

Thanks so much! :) Also, thank you for sharing about this month. In February, I will be celebrating wIith my family, my 70th Birthday! Had I not been spared, by the Grace of God, I would not have known that precious little girl in the picture
with me, my granddaugher. We have a wonderful relationnship and I am so thankful! Her other Gramma lives in Virginia, a very long way from her. I also
have 2 other granddaughters, 3 children, and 4 great-grandchildren! Many
reasons to be here! :)

Sep 28th, 2012 at 10:50:37 AM PDT by

@ Michigangramma---I'm bidding on this tree. I live in Florida, so I'm pretty sure it would grow here. It's a lovely tree' @ Marie180--- Thank you for all the information. I've lived in the South all my life, ( around Kudzu), and never knew ANY parts were edible, except to goats.

Sep 28th, 2012 at 9:14:35 AM PDT by

Thanks so much Terryand btw, I appreciate your ribbon! I am in my
10th year as a SURVIVOR!!! :) PRAISE GOD!!!

I'll get off my soap-box now folks. Speaking of soap, did you know that you can get natural soap from Mother Nature? Some of the plants and yes trees offer natural suds. Now I'll shut up.

Sep 28th, 2012 at 6:57:44 AM PDT by

I think I found NEW FRIEND!!! :) :) :) :) I would love to talk with you (mostly liten and question, lol) for hours! Um ... no ... DAYS!!! LOL

Background
Also known as empress tree or royal paulownia, it was imported to Europe by the Dutch East India Company in the 1830s and to North America soon after. Historical records describe important medicinal, ornamental and timber uses of Princess tree as early as the 3rd century B.C. Its ability to sprout prolifically from adventitious buds on stems and roots allows it to survive fire, cutting and even bulldozing in construction areas. It is highly prized for carving. And that's just a sample of it's benefits. One day it might help reclaim land that the Southern Pine beetle, the Eastern Hemlock aphid and the oak moth has devastated so folks won't be looking at a totally barren landscape in their travels.

Sep 28th, 2012 at 6:56:43 AM PDT by

What can I say Marie ... YOU are my Heroin! :) If you don't mind,
I am going to save these comments, for future reference, when someone
comes spouting off about how evil the tree is, making me feel guillty
for listing the seeds! Thank you so very much!

Sep 28th, 2012 at 8:55:45 AM PDT by

Kudzu for example is edible from the root to the very tip of the vine and is not only very nutritious to humans but also to animals! I've made dozens of jars of beautiful jelly from the flowers of kudzu, served my family lots of batter fried kudzu leaves that they really liked and sold enough of the root to research laboratories to be very grateful that there is a nice large patch of this vine right down the road from my house. I could go on and on, but folks have to know that each and every plant on this planet has a use.....do the research. One day the Princess Tree might offer the real cure for cancer that the scientists and researchers are looking for.

Sep 28th, 2012 at 6:56:00 AM PDT by

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :)

Sep 28th, 2012 at 8:44:44 AM PDT by

I own a business myself that sells not only wild harvested forest products (foods, mushrooms, plants, etc) but I offer seeds like autumn olive seeds that people consider too invasive to even offer. They seldom take the time to research the whole picture concerning a specific plant or tree. In some cases the plant or tree is very beneficial. Autumn olives have more lycopene in the berries than tomatoes, which is the current source for manufactured lycopene tables/capsules. The manufacturers would flip if they could use only 1 ton of autumn olive berries compared to 17 tons of tomatoes which is usually what it takes to make up the difference in lycopene content.

Awesome Marie! VERY interesting also! :)
And ALSO VERY TRUE!!!

Sep 28th, 2012 at 8:06:31 AM PDT by

I'd give anything to have one growing near my back porch. We have absolutely no shade anywhere on my property. I've seen this tree growing all over Tennessee in my area and it's a beautiful tree. All you have to do is keep the seed pods swept up and disposed of. It will not take over your property. The flowers are breath taking. F&W

Sep 27th, 2012 at 5:22:23 PM PDT by

Thank you SO MUCH for your testimonial! It is so refeshing to hear someone actually give good feedback about this beautiful tree! You'd be surprise how many "well-meaning" passer-bys, stop long enough to complain or beg to me about not listing it ever again. That I have no concern for the eco system and all ... Thank you!!! :)
