Royal Empress Tree, Paulownia tomentosa, Seeds (Princess tree)

 Empress Trees are noted for its profuse bloom of funnel-shaped, vanilla scented, pinkish-lavender, flowers. Flower interiors have dark purple spotting and creamy yellow striping. The 2 inch flowers appear in spring in clusters, 14 inches long before the leaves emerge, so they stand out nicely, especially against an evergreen background. Flowers are edible and are sometimes added to salads. Flowers are followed by oval, woody, dehiscent green seed capsules that ripen to brown in fall. When ripe, the seed capsules split open releasing abundant winged seeds. This native of China gives a most dramatic, coarse-textured appearance, with its huge catalpa-like heart-shaped leaves and large clusters of lavender flowers in the spring.

Traditionally, when Japanese couples have a daughter, they plant a Paulownia tree. When the daughter is ready to marry, they cut down the tree and make a dowry chest, furniture and other items out of it for wedding gifts.

Paulownia Trees are believed to bring Good Fortune to the household and all who enter.
