Description:
Paulownia tomentosa, also known as Royal Paulownia, Foxglove
tree, China Princess tree, or Empress tree, is a medium sized deciduous tree
that may reach 30-60 feet in height. It is found in 25 states in the eastern
U.S., from Maine to Texas. Princess tree is an aggressive ornamental tree that
grows rapidly in disturbed natural areas. It can reach 8 feet in two years from
seed. Its ability to sprout prolifically from adventitious buds on stems and
roots allows it to survive fire, cutting, and even bulldozing in construction
areas. The perfect flowers of Royal Paulownia are borne in terminal panicles up
to 25 cm long in April and May. They are violet or blue, and their appearance
before the leaves emerge is quite striking. The tubular purple corolla is 4-6
cm long, resembling a Foxglove flower. The bark is rough, gray-brown, and
interlaced with shiny, smooth areas. Stems are olive-brown to dark brown and
hairy. It requires pruning to develop strong structure. Leaves are large, 4-8
inches, broadly oval to heart-shaped, or sometimes shallowly three-lobed, and
noticeably hairy on the lower leaf surfaces. They are arranged in pairs along
the stem. There is no Fall color. The fruit is a dry brown capsule, about 30 to
45 mm long, with four compartments that may contain several thousand tiny,
winged seeds. Capsules mature in Autumn when they open to release the seeds and
then remain attached all Winter. Hardiness zones 5-9, (-26°C/-15°F, -5°C/25°F)
in Winter. The tree has been successfully grown in urban areas where air
pollution, poor drainage, compacted soil, and drought are common. Paulownia
thrives best in deep, moist but well-drained soil.
