Re: Paulownia

Paulownia is considered an invasive, very messy tree around here. I must admit I too love the flowers in the tree line along the George Washington Parkway.

I did a talk on antebellum gardens and found that it was very popular all over the south after it was discovered in China in the early years of the 19th century. I have one in my yard because I love them. I pulled it out of my flower bed. They come up all over the place and grow at an incredible rate. It was named after the daughter of the czar of Russia. BTW, I can't believe I butchered the name the way I did. <LOL>

I just looked it up and it IS a Paulownia Zem. Hallelujah! Thanks for that. Now I'm just surprised it's here. I thought it was too hot here, but it's doing fantastic.

Are you sure it's not a Pawlonia? They were very popular in antebellum gardens in your area and have naturalized literally everywhere.
