Introduction to Paulownia Trees Alexander Farms

[@21olympusmons]

Great video. Will you cut them down and sell the wood?

[@mohammadaslam3521]

Great, thanks for the right information. May be person like your sympathetic profile helps the world. I would be the 1st member of your "International Paulownia Association" from Germany.

Glad it was helpful!

I did research many years ago to grow them in one of the Caribbean islands. Couldn't get the government interested then but maybe now is the time

[@AlexanderFarm1997]

Yes, it might be a time.

[@guillaumesostheneassengngu7332]

Most often it's better to get the seeds and go for it. Governments in developing countries are often slow and/or unresponsive to new ideas/technologies.

[@proudcanadian67]

Which variety is that 2 yr old tree?

[@AlexanderFarm1997]

Paulownia elongata.

Hey good night just a quick question. Nice work on those trees. Did you planted the trees from seeds or seedling?

[@AlexanderFarm1997]

All seedlings.

[@r.guerreiro140]

I'm considering to plant Paulownias here in Brazil, but I have to many shadow trees Please, have you noticed if shadow will delay its development?

Hello. I bought Paulownia seedlings and planted only 10 this fall with maybe 40 more in the spring of next year if these look good. The instructions on the seedlings say to make a hole 2 to 3 ft deep and 2 ft wide. Hard to dig w post hole digger in this area. In your opinion would a 1 ft deep hole be enough? Thanks

[@AlexanderFarm1997]

12 to 18" would with posthole diggers adequate... Let me know if you have success with the trees. Did you watch my site prep video?

[@juliotamu7484]

I watched "Paulownia Tree Planting Year 0". I liked your auger. The ten trees I planted were bought from World Paulownia Institute and were the artctic variety as it went down to 0 deg F the last two years in north Mississippi. The holes I dug were 18" diam by 24" deep. I planted in Oct and managed to keep frost off 8 of 10 by covering w wheat straw. As I planted in the fall I have only a 3" stick in the ground. It's warming up but still was 30 degrees the last two nights but highs about 60. I went to the site I bought seedlings from and say they wont grow or sell any this year. I'll let you know when these get leaves again. Thanks and you've done a good job on your trees.@@AlexanderFarm1997

I watched the video where you used an auger to drill the holes. The holes I dug were 18" wide and 24" deep. I planted in N Mississippi zone 7a where the last two years it hit 0 deg F so I bought the arctic clone from World Paulownia Institute in Lenox, GA. I planted between Oct 4 and Oct 24 and kept frost off 8 of 10 trees by covering w wheat straw. I didn't get any growth and only had a small stick showing. It's been warm lately and for the first time I saw leaves coming out near the original stick on two trees. I went to website of place I bought trees from and they aren't growing any this year. I need a new source but don't have 20 acres available for planting. Was going to add another 20.@@AlexanderFarm1997

[@rofl970]

How did you grow them from seed exactly?

[@AlexanderFarm1997]

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding. We partner with a company called World Tree. They provided the container seedling trees. You can watch the site prep video to see the seedling trees when they arrived here at the Farm.

Why no large herbivores grazing on this land? Rotational grazing would help the soil to flourish and nourish the trees and every thing.

[@r.guerreiro140]

The cover plants are already scarce Grazing could lead to more soil exposure and even erosion
