World interest over Paulownia in the 5 year period based on Google Trends data. Clearly visible that there exists continuous interest over it.

Paulownia is a unique species of fast-growing trees that have no analogues in the world. On the pages of our site you will be able to find out everything that concerns the culture of Paulownia, and also to purchase our products.

The tree comes from China. The earliest documents and chronicles mentioning the use of this wonderful tree date back to 2,600 years AD. For centuries the tree grew in Japan. And it was known by the name of Kiri, which means “life” in Japanese. Kiri has always been considered a sacred tree and a symbol of good luck.

By looking on the graph you can see that there clearly exists an interest over the Paulownia. As shown the highest interest based on Google Trends data is seen in:

Paulownia can adapt to a wide range of temperatures. Generally Paulownia species grow up to 2000m. The development starts in the spring, when the soil temperature reaches 15-16оС. Intensive cultivation of Paulownia is optimal up to 700-800m and the optimal temperatures suitable for maximal growth are in the range of 24-33оC.

Then the second and third pairs of buds formed from the new branches fail again during the next winter and the fifth and sixth pairs of buds produce an outgrowth and form new branches in the spring. The growth of the crown follows this pattern year after year. The number of new branches formed and the morphology of the crown determine the age of the tree.

Wind 

Plantation is good to be planted at areas without strong winds reaching over 28km/h. When there are stronger winds at the place of planting stabilizing post has to be put during the first year of development until they form strong wooden stem. The speed of the wind is dangerous for the young plants over 45km/h and such areas have to be avoided

Light

Paulownia wood is the lightest known timber other than balsa. It is also named the Aluminium of Timber. It is around two thirds of the weight of the lightest commercial wood currently being grown in Europe. Paulownia wood is one third of the weight of Oak and half the weight of Pine.

Water

When new plantations of Paulownia are to be establishment, watering in the field is carried out with plenty of water – provided they have not been rained before – before planting the seedlings. Then, on the day of planting, new irrigation takes place again with plenty of water, and the next irrigation takes place 2-4 days later. For the next two to three weeks, 10-30 liters of water per day and plant are given daily, then the irrigations are diluted to 1 to 2 per week. For established plantations, it is recommended that in the growth period, irrigate takes place 1 to 2 times a week with 20-50 liters per tree – depending on the size of the tree and the soil / climate conditions.
