Paulownia tree is by far the fastest growing hardwood tree in the world, allowing commercial returns within three years.
Paulownia is native to Southeast Asia but it is used throughout the World with a number of uses from construction, to wooden surfboards, to bio-fuel.
Due to its speed of growth, Paulownia has become a more reliable hardwood, guaranteed to grow quickly and satisfy increasing demands around the World.
Research into Paulownia only really started when deforestation in North America became an issue and demand began to develop faster growing trees.
The Paulownia tree has deep roots, perfect for stability, making it strong and reliable and perfect for growing in areas of steep inclines where trees would not normally grow.
Due to Paulownia’s deep roots it also has a greater tolerance to wind, therefore allowing it to grow and flourish in areas where forests may have already failed.
The Paulownia trees are able to grow in areas that lack good quality soil and therefore perfect for reforestation and afforestation across the world; with its ease of growth, the Paulownia tree can quickly reforest an area. However, the success of a Paulownia plantation is not a miracle and requires caring. We suggest to carry the necessary soil studies in order to maximize the performance of your paulownia plantation.
