Pawlonia Tomentosa (Empress Tree) - Standard - 18-20 (cm)
Product Description
Paulownia Tomentosa, commonly known as the Empress Tree or Princess Tree, is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to central and western China. It is renowned for its large, heart-shaped leaves and striking, fragrant flowers, making it an eye-catching addition to any garden. The leaves are large, reaching up to 30 cm across, with a soft, fuzzy texture. In spring, the tree produces large, upright clusters of tubular, lavender-blue flowers with a sweet fragrance. These blooms appear before the leaves, creating a spectacular floral display. The flowers are followed by woody, egg-shaped capsules that contain numerous tiny seeds.
Paulownia Tomentosa is one of the fastest-growing trees in the world, capable of reaching full height in just a few years. This makes it an ideal choice for quickly creating shade or a focal point in a garden. Plant it in a sunny location. The tree prefers well-draining soil but is adaptable to various soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. Ensure the soil is fertile for optimal growth.
