The Empress of Trees: Discovering the Beauty of Paulownia tomentosa

Paulownia tomentosa seed supplier

The Paulownia tomentosa, also known as the Empress Tree or Princess Tree, is considered one of the most beautiful ornamental trees in the world. 

Paulownia tomentosa, commonly known as the Empress or Princess Tree, is admired for its striking beauty. It features large, heart-shaped leaves and, in the spring, produces showy, lavender to purple, trumpet-shaped flowers before the leaves emerge. These flowers, often fragrant, create a stunning display against the blue spring sky. The tree's rapid growth and large leaves also contribute to its aesthetic appeal, especially when coppiced to produce dramatic, oversized foliage. 

More detailed look at its beauty:

Flowers : The tree's most prominent feature is its early spring blossoms. These are large, upright panicles of fragrant, lavender-purple, trumpet-shaped flowers. 

Leaves : Paulownia tomentosa has large, heart-shaped leaves that can be 20-30 cm (or even larger on coppiced trees). They are a vibrant green above and pale green and hairy (tomentose) below. 

Form
: The tree has a rounded, umbrella-shaped crown, making it a visually appealing specimen tree for lawns and gardens. 

Growth : Its rapid growth rate adds to its allure, with some specimens growing 3-6 meters in a single year. Coppicing (cutting it back to the ground in early spring) results in enormous leaves, adding to its unique aesthetic appeal. 

Note:- the Empress tree (Paulownia tomentosa) can tolerate hot climates, though it may need some extra care during heat waves. While it's known for its resilience to both cold and heat, withstanding temperatures from -20°C to 35°C, extreme heat can cause issues like leaf scorching and wilting.
