I have no doubt that Paulownia is invasive in some places; I think
anyone planting should check and see what invasiveness potential/problems
it has in their area.  Of course, you should do that with *anything* that
you plant...

I remember driving to South Carolina and seeing thousands of Paulownia
along the highway through the mountains in Tennessee.  It's a real problem
in some places there.

I've been spared that particular temptation -- they're not even bud hardy
here!  :)
