FREE: Royal Empress Tree

The listing, Royal Empress Tree has ended.

Paulownia tomentosa (also known as the Empress Tree, Princess Tree or Foxglove Tree) is a deciduous tree. It grows to 10–25 m tall, with large heart-shaped to five-lobed leaves. These are popular in the modern style of gardening which uses large-foliaged and "architectural" plants.

You will be bidding on at least 10 seeds. I had 100% germination on the ones I planted.

The flowers are produced before the leaves in early spring, on panicles with a tubular purple corolla resembling a foxglove flower.
Paulownia tomentosa can survive wildfire because the roots can regenerate new, very fast-growing stems. It is tolerant of pollution and it is not fussy about soil type.
