Paulownia tree seed or seedling

[J. Davidson]

Does anyone have one they wish to part with? I will happily pay postage. Jackie

Id imagine that just about everyone who has a palownia tree would love to part with it.

After they flower and fruit next year, there should easily be millions upon millions of seeds to which you can help yourself!!!!

If you are saying that they are essentially a giant weed, I agree with you!

in this rare case, Pawlonia trees aren't brittle like other fast growing trees. I say this with the knowledge that MINE doesn't drop branches. It's so huge you can't hug it. Now the ends of the branches where the flowers and then seedpods are, DO break off. And yes, the huge leaves are messy. But the Chinese people used the wood for boxes for their daughters dowries, it takes a really hot heat to get them to burn, too. I've had a branch the electric company cut off for me that grew over the house line over the side yard edging a flowerbed now for well on four years and it's only lost it's bark. The wood is still solid................. madgardener ducking behind her "mother" Pawlonia tree now to keep from being flamed up on the ridge, back in Fairy HOller where I have three Pawlonia trees, overlooking English Mountain in Eastern Tennessee, zone 7, sunset zone 36
