Hi Y'all,

Found a catalog ad for a Royal Paulownia tree for $4.99. Ad states it
can grow roof high in one year. (Does this seem legit?)

Is this tree in the same family as the Royal Poinciana.

I livein west central Florida.

Y'all have helped me before.

Thanks,

Bill

I bought a Paulownia at (of all places) Home Depot. It is a Paulownia
kawakamii. It was 2 feet tall when I bought it. The first year it grew 8 feet,
this is it's second year (third growing season) and it is about 20 feet tall.
These are very fast growning trees, and they are actually also hardwood.

Here are two URL's with the info on them.
