There are many common misconceptions that exist about the Empress (Paulownia) tree. Mostly, the information one finds on the internet has not differentiated between the species within the genus Paulownia, and there are many...but only one is "considered" invasive. This single species has painted the entirety of the genus into the corner of being labeled as "invasive." This individual species (Paulownia tomentosa) gets all the attention, while the other species are assumed to be of the same traits. This is an incorrect assumption and needs to be brought to light.
In this quick 10 minutes long video, Dr. Cathy Key clearly explains how the other Paulownia species (ie. fortunei, elongata, etc...) are NOT like the tomentosa, and how incredibly beneficial this tree truly is.
