Plant Description

The Paulownia tomentosa, commonly known as the Princess Tree or Empress Tree, is a fast-growing deciduous tree admired for its large, heart-shaped velvety leaves and stunning lavender-purple flowers. Blooming in early spring before the leaves emerge, the bell-shaped flowers are fragrant and grow in upright clusters. The tree’s smooth gray bark and distinctive seed pods add year-round interest. Native to China, the Paulownia tomentosa is valued for its ornamental beauty, rapid growth, and ability to thrive in a variety of soils.

Cultivation

• Soil type: Prefers well-drained, fertile soils but tolerates poor, sandy, or rocky conditions.

• Watering frequency: Water regularly during establishment; becomes drought-tolerant once mature.

• Light exposure: Thrives in full sun for optimal growth and flowering.

• Temperature requirements: Hardy in temperate climates, tolerating temperatures from -20°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F).

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering.

• Pruning: Prune in late winter to shape the tree or remove dead or weak branches; coppicing can promote larger leaves.

• Common pests: Occasionally affected by leaf spots, canker, or borers. Treat as needed with appropriate solutions.

• Other tips: Ensure ample space for its rapid growth and avoid planting near structures or utility lines.
