IS NOW A GOOD TIME TO BUY? Paulownia are deciduous trees. (They drop their leaves for winter.) It is ok to plant now if you are in a region that will receive at least 8 weeks good warm growing weather before the onset of winter. Otherwise, you may pot Headstarters into a freely draining potting mix in preparation for planting out in spring or simply delay your order until spring. For more see "When" on the info page.

FGD09
Species:
Paulownia fortunei
Variety:
Guangdong Select 
Derived from a Guangdong seed orchard and further developed by TGG in Australia. TGG have supplied this variety to plantations in climatic regions ranging from arid (with very long hot summers and heavy frost in winter) to wet tropics, with positive results. Early growth is steady with a growth spurt in year 3 followed by good increment each year with a form suitable for timber production and ornamental shade tree. In spring, for a mature tree, the pyramid form canopy above the straight trunk is decorated with spectacular large pale purple to cream with yellow and dark purple interior trumpet shaped flowers, with an aroma evocative of jasmine.

FTH08
Species:
Paulownia fortunei x tomentosa
Variety:
Henan Hybrid 
This variety was created from northern China genetic lines and is adapted to extremes, surviving -20°C in winter and 45°C in summer. Beautifully leafy canopy above a straight trunk provides lovely shade in summer, followed by golden autumn foliage before the leaves drop to let in the winter sun. Fantastic year round, the bright lavender blue with yellow interior flowers in spring must be the highlight; their sweet violet-like perfume will enrich any garden.

TG2021
Species:
Paulownia kawakamii x taiwaniana
Variety:
Mauve Miracle 
This is a hybrid created at TGG. A cross of P. kawakamii and P. taiwaniana (which is itself a natural hybrid of P. kawakamii and P. fortunei) this variety is a strong fast growing tree well suited to temperate to tropical zones. Will survive heavy frosts and drought once established, but like all Paulownia responds with lushest growth in moist rich soil. Quickly grows a straight trunk clear of branches at the base, with older trees forming a dense leafy canopy. Ideal as an ornamental shade tree or for commercial forestry in suitable zones. Sweetly perfumed masses of mauve fading to cream flowers in spring.
