Paulownia tomentosa, common names princess tree,^[1] empress tree, or foxglove-tree,^[2] is a deciduous hardwood tree in the family Paulowniaceae, native to central and eastern China and the Korean Peninsula.^[3]^[4] It is an extremely fast-growing tree with seeds that disperse readily^[5] and is considered an invasive exotic species in North America^[6] that has undergone naturalisation in large areas of the Eastern US,^[7] even though it might be able to successfully get established through seeds only under ideal conditions.^[8] P. tomentosa has also been introduced to Western and Central Europe, and is establishing itself as a naturalised species there as well.^[9]^[10]
