Thank you good to know. I notiece since I place this video and travel often about 500 miles around my farm some trees but not much to be concern, and this has being in about 15 years. not even near the place my friend have this drive way of Royal Paulownia. Much appreciated the information
I'm in zone 8 - (Portland, OR) and have one of these in my yard - it's about 5 years old and not growing as big / fast as it should (it's about 20 ft high) most likely because it's near my neighbors unmaintained fir tree. My tree blooms every year and doing very well, but it has not spread to my yard or neighboring yards at all. I just planted several of the seeds from my tree (collected from last fall) in a seed starter kit & in 6 days they sprouted! I'm hoping to plant 2 more in my yard.
minimum temperatures are above -10F. While Paulownia will grow in zone 5 for landscape trees, we only recommend Zones 6 and above for timber production. Heavy clay soils are not recommended for timber. Land with a rocky impervious layer should also be avoided. do not like to grow in standing water. Avoid low-lying or wetland. Altitude - Under 2,200 feet is recommended for commercial planting. Higher elevations tend to have greater temperature fluctuations.
@@19aibanez51 i’ve just come across your video it popped up on my feed and I noticed he commented one day ago was a coincidence maybe the algorithm I’m looking at planting paulownia trees . I tried germinating from seeds I bought from the Internet, but unfortunately none of them have germinated. I’ll try again in a months time (February) northern hemisphere so maybe I need more light as I did plant them in December which is probably not the best time do you have any ideas?
The reality is that after 6 years planted it is not any spread around his property and around the county. Can you explain this? I will be happy to see this tree in my land I can not understand why is a bad tree?
I’m not an expert but I’m sure will grow. Make sure is far from any foundation, roots will expand a lot (well I do not see it in my trees but I reade so many comments) see comments here one from Oregon aloha
I heard this tree has a hollow trunk, and would not be good in strong winds. Was hoping to plant one in front of my house. Heard the roots can mess up a foundation to. Anyone able to clarify this?
