what trees are these - North Richmond NSW?
Yesterday I was driving back into Sydney via North Richmond. On the
flats, south of the road, is a large plantation of trees. Unfortunately I saw the trees in heavy and fast traffic, so couldn't stop and take a photo. The trees were 5-10 m tall and straight up and down with sparse leaves. The impression is of a tree tomato, but much taller and with much larger and darker green leaves. Any suggestions?

Richard these trees (opposite the Hawkesbury Polo Fields) are "Paulownia
fortunei" , common name 'Powton'. This is a timber plantation. They are pruned up the trunk for knot free timber. Cheers, Peter "Richard Wright" wrote in message ...
