We sell the Kawakamii (decorative tree) species of the Paulownia Family as well as the Elongata and Fortunei (forest tree). There have been many other sellers that have come and gone over the years that sell Paulownia also known as the Americana, Royal, or Empress Trees. These trees are generally grown from seeds and roots and are not the same quality as our trees that are grown from tissue culture. Unfortunately, due to our success other sellers have tried to sell Americana, Royal or Empress species of the Paulownia as a tree for your home when these species are normally utilized for lumber production, due to the fact that they grow of be 80 feet tall.

They are valued for their handsome foliage and beautiful blossoms that have a gentle scent like Jasmine. The Kawakamii Paulownia is a very quick-growing tree when young. It can grow 10-12 feet in its first year. It will ultimately reach a height of 35 to 40 feet. This is an Ornamental as well as a Landscape Tree. This tree likes to be on the dry side, only water when the soil is dry. The huge leaves of this tree range from 5 to 12 inches long and 8 inches wide, but on rapidly-growing stems or young trees, they can reach a length of 2 or 3 feet and almost as wide. They have lobed edges and a velvety soft feel. In the spring just before the leaves unfurl, 8" to 15" inch clusters of bright and fragrant flowers are produced.
