The royal empress tree (Paulownia Tomentosa) is a gorgeous specimen with prolific & fragrant dark pink to lavender blooms. They’re widely known as the world’s fastest growing tree, sometimes growing as much as 15 feet per year. If you’re looking for a fast-growing shade tree, this is a great pick. Even with their large size, their root systems are non-invasive or destructive. They’re also quite versatile with drought-tolerance, wide soil ranges & cold hardiness down to zone 5. The royal empress can be trained as a bonsai as well. Each pack comes with basic instructions for germination. I’m a USA seller which means faster shipping times as well as higher quality seeds. A vast majority of my seeds either come from my garden, from my neighborhood or in the local area. If not, I’ve acquired them on trips around the country. I’ve tested & grown many of these myself. I’m always here for assistance with germination & growing. Your success is my success! Royal Empress Tree | Paulownia Tomentosa Seeds
