Thanks for the video. You may have heard that the Paulownia tree is actually native to North America. Fossils of Paulownia leaves have been found in the USA. I don't suppose you can go contrary to the popular wisdom, but based on my research, I think the tree is a *good* tree for our land. The seeds hardly ever germinate, and those that do, usually die the first year. The trees do not grow in established forests. And the benefits are many, including nectar for birds and insects, very strong wood (the strongest for its weight), the wood is rot-resistant, water-resistant, and even fire-resistant! The wood is also a good insulator. It grows fast, so less land is used for timber. As you said, it's a beautiful tree, and bees make honey from the flowers. And, it pulls CO2 from the air very fast.
Hello. Do you have materials confirming in practice that paulownia is not an aggressor, that paulownia bears honey, that paulownia has valuable wood? Has all of this found its application in America?
What needs to be eradicated? All of your LAWNS! Lawns…are the most un-environmental to have. They take a heavy toll on our water supply, trees are removed for that “perfect Home Depot look”. Grow cacti, succulents, or WILDFLOWERS.
@@НаталиПилат The aggressor it the tomentosa variety. The kalkami and Fortuni are not invasive and their are also 17 species. This tree has a bad wrap yet it can cure cancer.
Best tree to grow for lumber. Leaves are 20% protein (livestock feed) lumber is 40% lighter than most hardwood. This lumber won't shrink or warp. Plant the correct type and it is literally the best tree in the world. Lumber in 10 years
My one…we call is a Princess Tree…IS flowering and I live in Northern Lower Michigan…which I believe is north of New York. I love it!! The hard little seed pod thingies were so pretty on the bare tree all winter. Very decorative. The leaves are huge and feel soft to the touch. A friend gave me this tree. He has many on his property and uses the bark to make charcoal for pyro technics. I planted one in front to give my house some shade…on the east side of my property. Maybe another decade or so for that….if I live that long! I don’t mow and I have not noticed any new ones popping up. I did plant two more in another less sunny area and they are taking their sweet time to get any height. So…at least in my neck of the woods…not so invasive……yet! Haha! Famous last words, right?
My father was duped into planting these in South Central Virginia over a decade ago. He planted several at the edge of his property near a stream but he also planted one planted one about 100 ft from his house down a hill between his house and the stream it grew and grew. The root system grew all the way up the hill as well as down the hill and the food damaged the foundation of my parents house. They had all of the trees cut down but the roots will grow trees where they poke through the soil. My father passed away 7 years ago but even today small trees are coming up in my mother's backyard. Unfortunately, my mother had given me a garden plant that she bought, she took some soil from her backyard to add to the pot and guess what.. I planted that plant next to my rear patio. My mother had a brain bleed last winter and I had to leave my home for 6 months. To my surprise when I returned home in the early summer there was a 7 ft tall Empress tree growing through my deck steps, seriously! I suggest not planting any of these trees unless you want a great many of the trees in your yard and in areas that you don't care that they'll spread to. Also don't use any of the soil from anywhere around the trees to plant anything that's going to leave your property. Unfortunately before my father understood what a pain these would be he'd mentioned them to other people and shown them pictures online and they planted them on their farms. The trees sure are behaving like a very invasive species in both Virginia and Maryland. I'm definitely not a fan.
I planted 4 of them 7-21-2022 on our property at all four corners in hopes they will grow huge magnificent and quick, with plans to plant hundreds more somewhere later down the road, but reading this now... hmm, I don't know🤔
Get a wood pellet machine, and turn them into pellets for wood pellet stoves and sell them by the 50 lb bag, then the trees will pay for whatever damages
This is incorrect, promoting it with management is ideal . In a 2019 USDA report in unmanaged plantings only had a 27 percent germination rate in the wild. It is also Sun loving while many other invasive are not. The benefits far outweigh the negative affects. Early fossils were found in Wa. and Ga. Fossils Folks
there are three types of Paulownia, Tomentosa, Elongata, and Fortunei. And from those three derive many hybrid clones. The most effective is the Elongata-Fortunei hybrid, due to its sterile seeds, as a matter of fact, it doesnt emit pods. That is the best option for timber production in very short periods. We have done all kinds of experiments for over 6 years here in MEX and it seems to work just fine. Unfortunately, there are people that dont know all their facts and they confuse tomentosa with the other two genotypes. Anyway just wanted to give you my insight.
I have a pain in my yard. The seller assured me that it doesn't get bigger than 20' tall. I planted mine about ten years ago and it's about 50' tall. It sheds large leaves all season long (about 30 wheelbarrows) and in the spring sheds bushels and bushels of useless flowers. In December here in Carolina it finally drops all the leaves slowly and some leaves are the size of dinner plates & some the size of serving trays. A royal pain in my back. When strong winds come in August-October it tears through the tree ripping off arms and shredding leaves leaving the tree ugly. I'm going to cut it down.
No you don’t I planted one in my yard and after it got 20 foot tall we would constantly pull up dozens of the trees around our yard. This tree needs to be eradicated.
@@lefthandedhardright8839 they make thousands of seeds it’s highly invasive new studies show this tree is really hurting our native plants. They’re super brittle also and the roots bust water lines easily also.
Invasive in humid places that rain a lot, here in Phoenix, not invasive at all. I have next to all my other trees, looks beautiful. Will not be invasive here, because our hard packed clay alkaline soil. We never get rain either. I can see it evasive in Florida or Mississippi
It's not very invasive anywhere. I live in TN, and see a few, but they have not spread from their location in 10 years. They arrived in the 1800s, so if they were very invasive they would be everywhere. Like so many other invasives I see every day.
It’s highly invasive it’s destroying our native species we’ve been constantly killing them on our property the seeds are not the problem it’s the roots because each roof can have 6-12 new trees sprout on each root.

@@inharmonywithearth9982 they are highly invasive and they’re destroying our native species. They need to be outlawed and eradicated. I planted one 10 years ago and every year I would have to kill dozens of them.
Someone hasn't really done their research on this... sure, it has a lot of seeds per pod. ... only... they are extremely difficult to germinate. Are you aware that since the original introduction, the numbers have actually gone down? For an invasive species, it sure does require a lot of sun 😑 No, in fact, it's not invasive. Maybe it's time for a correction video
Thank you 👏, I was going to say the same thing. I grew one on my property in Canada and it took multiple tries if many bunches of seeds to get the to properly germinate, then trying to out then in solid and root was just as hard.
Indeed, seeds are hard to germinate and harder to maintain; they require controlled temp, light and humidity for a long period of time in order to reach a point of success. Yeah, they seed a lot and I usually compare it to sea turtles, where one of 10,000 will reach adulthood....but take them out of the beach and the rate drops to almost zero.
Thank you. I discovered info that contradicts what she is saying here also. I have these in my yard and they are not a problem. I’m not getting more trees from seed but certainly more grow from the roots but you just cut them off and maintain them and it’s fine. They are beautiful. Children get really excited about the gigantic leaves.

Pawlownia tormentosa is a really good quick growing lumber tree and the wood itself has anti moisture properties

If you don't want the trees on your property please sell it. The wood is quite desirable. As a miller, large ones can be worth thousands in timber.

You're kind of stupid, but moving on. Compost the frakking leaves and make jam out of the frakking flowers. Stop being ignorant.
Try growing paulownia from seed. You got to baby them when they're little.
There's a reason they have so many seeds, most of them don't make it.
