The listing, 30 ROYAL EMPRESS SEEDS has ended.
I won 30 seeds on listia and looked them up after I received the seeds and found out that you really need a lot of land because of the roots. I was really disappointed because this is a beautiful tree. Listia verified only please. Sorry for the long description, I want everyone to know about the trees
You must take this tree's root system into consideration when planting and select a location far from the property line. Empress tree's roots spread from two to three times as wide as the tree is tall.
Flowers and young leaves
It grows 10–25 m (33–82 ft) tall, with large heart-shaped to five-lobed leaves 15–40 cm (6–16 in) across, arranged in opposite pairs on the stem. On young growth, the leaves may be in whorls of three and be much bigger than the leaves on more mature growth.[4] The leaves can be mistaken for those of the catalpa.
The very fragrant flowers are produced before the leaves in early spring, on panicles 10–30 cm long, with a tubular purple corolla 4–6 cm long resembling a foxglove flower. The fruit is a dry egg-shaped capsule 3–4 cm long, containing numerous tiny seeds. The seeds are winged and disperse by wind and water.
