Paulownia tomentosa
I was forced to move my Pauwlonia earlier this year. Unfortunately it
was already in leaf and is not looking too well at the moment. It stands around 1.5m and had been in it's previous position for 2 yrs. The few remaining leaves are small (compared with previous years) and are not showing signs of further growth, although they are still intact. I believe they are hardy plants and can even withstand fire damage. Has anyone any hints or tips to ensure its survival? |

Cut them down hard to ground level in mid March. Then in spring / early summer select the fattest new shoot and allow each one a single stem. They grow HUGE leaves, some 3ft across and they're mixed with Busa basjoo to give a jungle effect. Stunning plants! I worried the first year, cutting them back so hard. But they now throw up shoots from all around the root system that have to be pinched out. very sturdy plants! Although I would think that if you've just moved yours keep them moist until they establish themselves again and maybe cut them back a bit to reduce water loss through the foliage. They will shoot again from the leaf axils a bit like tomato plants. L |
