Paulownia is a truly remarkable solution for the World's need for wood
Sustainable :
Paulownia regrows from the stump like Bamboo and is gentle on the earth with a long taproot that helps to lower the water table and help prevent salinity.
Fast Growing : Paulownia is the fastest growing hardwood on the planet and with a record of 31 feet in 7 months. Trees are ready for harvest in 7 years as opposed to 40+ years for Oak
Purifying : Paulownia has giant leaves which scrub the atmosphere of greenhouse gases. Each acre removes 115,200lbs of CO2, releases over 11,000 tonnes of Oxygen and can absorb 21 million gallons of waste water each year. It is used to purify urban environments. CSIRO studies show that Paulownia removes more pollution and has a very low pollen count.
Medicinal : Paulownia has a beautiful flower, typically Lavender which can be eaten and has medicinal qualities known to assist respiratory disorders. Mix with protein for a treatment against bronchitis in alternative medicine.
Nutritious : Very little of the Paulownia tree goes to waste. The leaves that drop in the Autumn are used as a highly nitrogenized food for livestock or left to fertilise the soil for intercropping the tree with wheat or vegetables.
