Hi Bill

Not sure about the "weed" issue! I guess what you are talking about
are a Paulownia tormentosa (syn. P. imperialis) and definatley not
related to Poinciana!

This is a tree from China growing up to 50ft
tall - and yes indeed wery farst the first years, I would say up to
5-6ft the first year. But it does not send out runners and it does not
flower the first years! So it will deffinately not pop up in your lawn
the first years - what happens when it do flower and set seed i don't
know though!

seems to be a weed in eastern wet summer climates
