You are bidding on about 40 PRINCESS TREE ( ROYAL PAULOWNIA ) SEEDS Paulownia tomentosa .
Synonyms: Bignonia tomentosa, Paulownia imperialis, Paulownia recurva
Identification: This is a deciduous tree that may reach 60 feet in height and 2 feet in diameter. The tree has large, heart-shaped, opposite, and very fuzzy leaves. The bark is light to dark gray and rough. Fragrant, pale-violet, tubular-shaped flowers appear from April to May. Pecan-shaped capsules, 1 to 2 inches long, appear from June to April and release tiny winged seeds in winter.
Ecology: It is a rapid growing tree that colonizes by root sprouts. Seeds are spread by wind and water. This tree is common around roadsides, riparian areas, and forest edges. Princess tree will invade following fire or mechanical disturbances.
The flowers of the Princess Tree are its most visible asset – the large panicles of lilac purple are very showy in spring usually opening in late March ( in the south to early May ( north ) . While I called it an upside down (or right side up) Wisteria flower, it actually more closely resembles the Foxglove flower (Digitalis purpurea) with its large bell-shaped form.
