| The Empress Dragon Tree or Paulownia Tree, one of my favorite plants! |

| The Empress Dragon Tree or Paulownia Tree has huge leaves that can reach up to 3 feet in width! |
When you walk through a grove of these young trees, it feels like you are under water in a pond and you are looking up at the surface and it is covered with lily pads. For a while, when I did not know what they were properly called, I referred to them as "Lily Pad Trees".
These trees grow very fast and tall and the leaves are anywhere from 2 to 3 feet wide. If they stayed like they are when they are young, I would have one or two!

Thanks for this post. I have been looking all over the web, trying to find out what kind of tree this is, as we have a few at our camp and I had never seen them before. Now I know what to call them, and more about them too.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, I do appreciate the information.
