Paulownia Plantations

We're here to help you with planting these beautiful trees!

We specialize strictly in Paulownia trees: tomentosa, elongata, fortunei, and catalpafolia. We work to help those who wish to start their own Paulownia plantation by seed or root cuttings. Sometimes known as Royal Empress and Kiri tree, Foxglove tree, and Dragon trees, Paulownia trees are not a get-rich-quick undertaking but a promising farming alternative (i.e., Paulownia lumber, Bio-Mass, Carbon Credits).

Our Services:
