Paulownia (pronounced Paw-lo-ne-a) is a medium height, large-leafed, fast growing deciduous tree from East Asia. Cultivated prim182 arily for its fine, light and valuable timber, Paulownia can also be used for biomass, carbon sequestration, pruned to supply nutritious fodder to livestock during dry times and is highly ornamental with masses of sweetly scented trumpet shaped flowers in spring. Paulownia trees are also known as Empress Trees, Foxglove Trees, Phoenix Trees, Princess Trees, Royal Paulownia, Chinese Parasol Trees, Dragon Trees, wu tong or pao tong 泡桐 (Chinese), odongnamu 오동나무 (Korean) and kiri(Japanese).

FEATURED ARTICLE

203 Travel Notes From China.pdfTravel Notes From China

In July 2004 TGG principals James and Noriko Lawrence visited China and spent a few days in Henan Province as guests of the Paulownia Research and Development Centre of China.  While this article may seem outdated, it is well worth revisiting as it is still relevant and will be of particular interest to those new to Paulownia.

Discusses the intensive management used in Paulownia cultivation in China and makes some comparison between the techniques used traditionally by the Chinese and those developed by TGG in Australia.  Considerable genetic improvement has been made by the Chinese (and obtained and built upon by TGG)  but the extension of the new genetics into plantations in China has been held back by traditional methods while TGG is able to quickly supply large quantities.
