Summary
Princess tree, or Paulownia, is a fast-growing ornamental introduced from Asia that produces millions of wind-blown seeds and can show up on forest edges and disturbed sites. Seedlings usually survive only on bare, low-microbe soils such as construction areas, road cuts, or hot burns, and the tree is often overtopped in forests and dies back. It resprouts strongly after damage, so control relies on herbicides that move to roots using stem injection, cut stump, basal spray, or foliar spray methods.
