Paulownia Tomentosa
(Empress Tree, Princess Tree, Foxglove Tree)
This was planted as a small sapling and grew into a really amazing bush with the most humongous leaves I’ve ever seen! Honestly speaking I knew nothing about it except that in its native to China.
It grew and grew, and after 7 years suddenly before the leaves even started to appear, a mass of lilac flowers appeared! It is without doubt a stunning tree and a beautifully shady tree in full leaf but trust me when I say...this tree is big and it’s roots will emerge lifting slabs.
Having said all that... I love it, and it is the focal point in an otherwise normal garden.
