We have one that popped up last year at the edge of our chicken coop. A seed was probably dropped by a passing bird. I’ve never seen one anywhere until it showed up last year. We left it to see what it would do. It died clear back to nothing and completely disappeared in the winter like it was never there, but it came back up this year and is almost 20 feet tall and probably half as wide, but it didn’t flower when it came back this spring. We’re going to leave it and see what it ends up doing and if we ever get blooms. But we’re keeping a good eye on it because it has grown incredibly fast and we can see just how problematic if we just ignore it and let it do its thing. We’re in Oregon and live on farmland with the best soil you can imagine so it’s had no trouble surviving.

I recently bought a house and it has one of these trees in the backyard. It is HUGE. Didnt know what it was until I watched this video. I live in Northern Virginia US.

It is very invasive. Limbs break. it is an Asian tree. Please watch a video called Bringing nature back/Doug Tallamy. That tree is awful & does not provide food for pollinators, nesting birds , or food for wildlife.

Love your videos….lots of inspiration and ideas for my own projects. Really looking forward to seeing the new ponds 🤙🏼

Thanks so much Scott. The day I do the ponds is drawing ever closer. I've just planted a tree fern over the water - a job I need to do first.

There's a foxglove tree in the orangery at Lyme park which they pollard every year, the rate of growth each year is amazing

I made enquiries about these lovely trees, bbc radio station i phoned. Apparently they won't flower for 15/20 years from young trees. There is one in a garden in South Birmingham where i live, it's over 20 year old and never flowed as yet, its been pruned recently i noticed for first time. But its a wonderful tree where i go to look at when i can do so, it's only about a mile or so away.

Please do a follow up of the pruning in spring

Hi there. I definitely will 😊🙏

The pollarded tree produces massive leaves , seed grown plants are very variable. Out of hundreds of seedling. Few grow well. So like you I opted for a large tree that was reliable.

Late to bud up. Paulownia honey wow. Wonder if they're growing them for timber and have bee hives around?

@MarksHouseandGardenUK 6 ай бұрын

I bet they probably do. Getting more pruductivity

@Sam23606 4 ай бұрын

Question, please. It is said that this tree, due to its rapid growth, depletes the soil’s nutrients and makes the soil unsuitable for agriculture. . Can you provide some information?

I suspect you must be correct. Logically thinking yes it must. I guess giving a good topdressing of mulch might help. A couple barrow loads of manure or leaf mould or both.
