Paulownia tree seeds
Does anyone have Paulownia sees to give away?
Why? It's a miserably brittle-wooded tree, and rather weedy... Are you sure you want to inflict it on yourself? ` Kay |

I can check out back if I have any pods and if you email me your address I'll send them. |

I can It's fairly rot-resistant, but rather brittle. And it's quite invasive in many parts of N America. It's made the noxious weed list in CT. http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/pato1.htm http://www.invasive.org/eastern/srs/P_RP.html http://ipetrus.blogspot.com/2006/11/...-heritage.html http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/c...s/trees-new/pa ulownia_tomentosa.html The wood is quite brittle when on the tree... a light ice storm can tear half the crown out, and snagging a branch on a shirt sleeve as you walk by can break the branch. Stump sprouting is another problem. Pretty, but not worth the invasiveness or mess, imho. There are many better trees to plant. Kay |
