Around 2 years ago my neighbour planted what looked like a stick. No name
tag and wasn't sure what it was.

Over this time it has grown very quickly into rather a nice tree.

In late summer the leaves are absolutely huge, something similar in shape to
a Maple. The bark is similar to Cherry but finer in "rings" and a grey/brown
colour.

At the moment, for the first time, it is in flower. Light mauve flowers in
trumpet shape.

Question is....what is it and will it fruit?

Thanks in advance


Paulownia Tomentosa (foxglove tree) it's fast growing and reaches a
hight of 30ft, with wide-spreading crown and needs plenty of room, the
flower buds are formed the previous summer and autumn.
