18 month old royal empress (paulownia) tree how to grow

Cool!!! Ordered the smallest package of seeds I could find - 200, lol. I will try to grow some in the desert near the border of USA & Mexico. In addition to searing heat we also have high winds, so I will see if they can survive and adapt. Would be great to share these trees with people to plant in spots with a bit of shelter from the wind, since the leaves are so lush and shade-giving. I will feel bad if they don't enjoy the heat here though ; _ ;

Can u root from cut stalks? I pulled one out of ground- a few small roots- root in water until growth?

Thank you for the information ,I have two of the Empress trees could not find info on the care of them, mine have a lot of leaves on the lower part do I trim them of, growth is quit slow, I live in South Central Florida ,my trees are 1 year old and only have grown 5 feet,what can I do to stimulate the growth

If these trees can be sold for $8000/tree after 5 years of growth, I think that the secret would be out & everyone would be growing them. So naah, I don't believe it.

6 years have gone by, how large are they now?

any suggestions for growing these in stevensville, montana 59870 i think we are zone 4 or 5 like where and in what and how much water and type of soil?

Thanks :) growing some of these in the uk. Just planted the seeds.

I have this tree for 4 years and has only grown to 5 feet high and never had flowers!

Thank you! I got two 4 inch saplings in summer of 2013 and they grew about 18 inches. For various reasons we moved them that late fall. I chopped one down to the ground (the one that was smaller) and left the other, just to see. This summer the chopped one got to about 5 feet, straight up, and the unchopped one sent up a second trunk, both only getting to about 3 feet (if you measure the trunk and curve not straight up). They have been in that place a year now, having to reroot I suppose. The leaves are all off after our last frost. I was wondering if I should chop them again. Still not sure, but your video was a big help for my other questions!

I am gathering from my research that are more than one species of this tree. One grows to about 80 ft, can do a lot of damage and can be diseased, and then the other one like what I read here grows to 40 ft. is nice and good. I want a nice 30-40 ft tree, but I dont want a monster that will rip out the side walk, foundations of homes and hit all the power lines. If you keep cutting to the group, you will not get flowers, and I am concerned. I am seeing video, but nothing goes beyond the first year.. Id like to see more information.

Can you give more details on the economical site please.

I've never cut anything from our trees - can I prune anytime of the year and are you saying you chop these tree's off at the ground before winter and they grow right back even bigger the next year?

What species is the best of the Paulownia? thank you.

I've read everywhere that the Royal Empress only grows in zones 5-11. Anyone think it'd be possible to grow them in the lower half of zone 4? Or know of a different fast growing tree for zone 4 similar to the royal empress? Thinking about income here.

It's been a few years. I would like to see them now.

lol u said just me and my trees and my view. That is so funny but I dont blame you who wants to see a pool when they can look at nature. These days they build homes to close for me especially in CA

Make a royal empress bonsai HAH

2010.......I bet these are a mess now LOL
