Royal Paulownia is a well adapted exotic ornamental in United States and a tree prized in its native Asia for timber. Many love this tree for its attractive heart shaped leaves and showy pale violet flowers. The “Royal Empress” or “Princess tree” was named after Anna Pavlovna, daughter of Czar Paul I. It can be an aggressive grower, and competes with native plants in certain habitats.
