Ever heard of Paulownia trees?
You must have seen the only non-invasive Paulownia tomentosa on the planet
or else you are confusing it with a Catalpa. After it flowers and fruits, the dust-like seed of Paulownia tomentosa are spread far and wide by the wind. Ann wrote in message ... (Iris Cohen) expounded: Paulownia tomentosa, or princess tree, has its good points. It depends on where you live. It would be at its best in Zone 6b. It is not hardy in the North, although there was one in Syracuse for many years. Any further south, it is extremely weedy and invasive, and you would have your neighbors cursing you. I just noticed this past spring/summer there's one growing in a neighboring town. It blooms, and looks pretty good, but I don't see any offspring anywhere. That's the only one I've ever seen. Pretty thing. -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |

But I'm in a colder range and I don't think they do well around here, generally. This one is protected a bit, by terrain. After it flowers and fruits, the dust-like seed of Paulownia tomentosa are spread far and wide by the wind. I guess they just don't germinate well around here. I know they are problematic in other areas, never said they weren't. -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |
