They don't really have a common name here yet - too recent an introduction, not really common until about 15 years ago. No matter what you call them (ailanthus, Tree of Heaven, Those Palm-Leaves Trees That Drop 10,000 Seeds All Over The Garden Which All Sprout The Next Spring) you are usually met with a puzzled look until you do a bit more splainin.
The periwinkle, btw, is called myrtle by a friend who grew up about 2 hours north of here, which makes me think it may be more a family thing than a regional thing.
