Driving through Twickenham yesterday and near the Green there was a
Paulownia in perfect full flower, my wife exclaimed " that can't be a
Jacaranda", but it did look that good.
Most gardeners seem to coppice them annually so they get the huge leaves
but maybe it's better to let them grow if you have the room. It's
obviously taken what the last few winters have thrown at it and survived
well.

Mine is having a really good year this year, only problem we ever have is
someone (me) planted a large bamboo too close and in high winds it whacks
the flower buds off over winter!!
