Another Tree to identify (Link to pics)
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? http://photos.yahoo.com/robbowatson Album has 2 pics. Thanks in advance |

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.

A lot of people cut them down to the ground each year to get huge leaves on new growth but they miss the flowers then. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |
