Paulownia trees have many positive traits, besides great beauty

Comments about: V. Kolbenschlag: Paulownia beautiful, but should not be planted

A reader sends a link to the Wikipedia entry on the Paulownia tree which gives far more positive features for the tree than negative ones.



While it is a "pioneer" species, that proves to be a good quality. The tree sprouts early, but other species take over and shade it out soon after.

The wood of the tree is light and strong, and is favored in the boatbuilding industry. See the entire article at: Paulownia.

Besides, an even higher authority, Billy Joe Fudge, writes favorably of the species: See: Kentucky Color: Royal Paulownia Tree.

And of great importance, it was Addie Turner Leftwich's favorite tree. See: Lavender of Paulownia: A reminder of Addie Turner Leftwich
