Plant portrait - Princess tree (Paulownia tomentosa)

[@jesusramos778]

This is probably the best and most informative video about this tree I’ve seen. Thank you!

[@emilyfinch8955]

This is invasive in our region and a tree we are looking to identify and control. This highly detailed description is very useful, thanks!

[@DJ-uk5mm]

Very kind of you to put so much effort into describing this plant and tree. It’s just what I’ve been looking for and to think someone seven years ago sat down and had the same idea and decided to collate all the information create a video and share it with the world having no idea there in seven years time I would be sitting down watching it along with 42,000 other people at this point all done the spirit of humanity is alive despite all that is happening in 2022😊❤

Looks beautiful in our drought stricken yard that we can’t water. And yet it gives us extraordinary blooms in the spring. It isn’t able to take over because of the drought.

[@navnit3978]

very impressed with your description of this amazing tree

[@witchofthewildwoods3496]

We just identified this tree in our yard after living in the PNW for 20 years! The blossoms are beautiful and have a wonderful scent. As they drop to the ground our ducks, geese and chickens run to snatch them up. Last year a wild honeybee colony made their hive in a niche of the trunk. It’s sad to learn that it has such a negative reputation in the US.

[@fredziffle5219]

We have two at our n ca house. Their blooms are incredible & the bees swarm around them. They’re not invasive here because of the drought. They need to be pruned way back each year after the bloom.

Interesting I wonder if this has medicinal value.The similarity to heart, blood vessels and even vascular changes which occur due to atherosclerosis is uncanny.

[@AMIRAMIR-vs9nf]

Beautiful video . Thanks I need this tree in Los Angeles CA

[@Rocky-cc4uz]

no you don't but do whatever you want

[@laguna4life]

Thank you for identifying this. The previous owner of our house has one in our backyard far away from the house so I didn’t worry but now found one growing right next to the house…dug that thing up before it grew much. Also dug up a few maple saplings it’s enough to drive me nuts even if it’s pretty…Mid-Atlantic region here. She also gifted us the curse of Bishops Weed in the front garden, truly a curse that keeps on giving I’ll take an invasive tree over that stuff any day.

[@icytoe]

but paulownia has exceptional co2 absorption it should be left to grow

[@gsmscrazycanuck9814]

Great video. Are there Princess trees in Northern Arkansas or Southern Missouri?

[@ARBOLISTAEdgarGarcia]

We have them in Springfield Missouri for sure

[@gsmscrazycanuck9814]

@@ARBOLISTAEdgarGarcia good to know thanx. When I get moved I will be looking for some to mill.

[@lucyfabras1152]

I am in love with the tree, but I don't see any video anywhere showing the flowers

[@sarcasmo57]

Good channel.

[@marnellialiwalas9609]

amazing this kind of tree....is it growing in asian country like philippines..just asking tanx

[@HiNickCares]

Yes

[@prasadrai2701]

I have planted 250 plant in nepal but not growing to fast..

[@godlyprepping1306]

I had one of these trees grow up next to my house while I was incapacitated by spinal problems and surgeries. It cracked my foundation before I could cut it down. I found roots growing barely underground nearly 30' under my crawl space. I have a personal disdain for this particular species. I had shoots growing up out of the stump and roots 3 years after I cut it down. I'm not a fan.

[@rhigel2269]

Move to Japan. The tree is dying out there. Happy now?

[@reverie8223]

They’re a very invasive type of tree so that would explain a lot 😢

[@draco003]

That is one impressive and pretty tree. Can this tree be grown in a container? I like to grow one in my patio to attract bees and butterflies.

[@IdentifyThatPlant]

draco003 No, it would not work in a container. It has a large and deep root system. Also, it's an invasive tree in the U.S. (and possibly other regions where it is not a native).

[@MrRocco_]

If you bonsai this tree it will probably grow

[@adventuresofdragonfly2231]

@@IdentifyThatPlant I grew mine in a planter and it is 7ft. tall first summer, now I'm going to move it to it's new home in the ground.

[@carmengonzalez5996]

En español, por favor, yo tengo dos arbolitos de esos y quisiera saber más sobre el. Gracias

[@SuperGus75]

hello! i am trying to grow this tree from seeds and its been so hard. First try with 200 seed only one survive. Its one month old and its still so tiny. I got 500 more seed and hope to have more luck. Regards from Mexico. Thanks for the video !

[@treelife365]

What you should do is to put a bunch of seeds in water in a clear container and then put it on a bright windowsill. You will see roots coming out of many of the seeds after 1-2 weeks and then 1-2 weeks more and you will see tiny seedlings with leaves! Take those and plant them in soil (they are very delicate)... give them plenty of light and plenty of water.

[@sharksport01]

get a young seedling on Ebay, the seeds sometimes take a year to grow.

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

Very invasive and the heavy seed pods can break large limbs. The blooms aren’t worth the hassles; many native species outperform this pest in every aspect.

[@guyname8760]

This Video talks us down like we're 3 year olds, with those simple 3 word sentences and stuff like," Wow look at all those seeds."

[@mexiricansister8142]

I loved plants probably since I was 3 yrs old. The way most kids love bugs or dinosaurs. I would have loved to hear her descriptions of plants. This is also a very easy video to understand if English is your second or third language.

[@starman2671]

Speak for yourself, I like the presentation.

[@billgateskilledmyuncle23]

Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high! Take a look, it's in a book, a Reading rainbow!

[@rongiamberdini2649]

Look

[@rbbiefah]

VERY easily killed with herbicide

[@timmillan6701]

This is one of the “ Miracle Trees” touted in media as fast growing lovely shade trees. ( The other being hybrid poplar) In reality they are coarse, weak , invasive, and malodorous. Cool flower color, but that’s really the only redeeming quality

[@hikurukutai]

Cheer I won't be planting these
