void Tree::printTreeList()
{
	unsigned int i;
	cout << "\n\n\n LISTING \n";
	cout << treeVector.size();
	for(i=0 ; i < treeVector.size() ; i++)
   {
        TreeElement *treeElement = treeVector[i];
        cout << treeElement->getName();
        cout << "\n";
        cout << "NEXT \n";
        //cout << treeVector[i]->getName();
   }

}


and this is the output

Think you have to dereference the treeElement before you can call its class members.

Better yet, don't bother with pointers in this kind of exercise. No added value and it makes debugging impossible.
