We continue to get requests for info from all over the world on these trees. This month marks our 4th year in this project and we were only looking for a few fast growing shade trees. Had no idea of the world wide demand for this wood and now we have 415 trees planted and will add another 100 or so this summer.

Elongatas, Fortunas, Kawakamis: Planted June 2012
Cut to ground March 2013

In ground 2 1/2 years

Our trees go dormant in October and lose their elephant leaves at first freeze.
They start waking up mid February when blooms start popping out and leaves follow.

These trees luv super hot sun and grow from leaves. We measure and document height and width growth. One tree grew one foot per week in July and August and grew 3 3/4" in width from 6/5/14 to 8/12/14.

Fortunas:  planted May 2013 and cut to ground in March 2014

****************

California drought can't stop these gorgeous trees!

440 trees now growing:  here's a pic of the back most recent plantings (March '14).  In spite of this horrific California drought you can see these trees are thriving -- they love the climate and sunshine... and make do with very little water.  

These trees are groomed for lumber harvesting (ask Mike).  

Below is a gorgeous paulownia ungroomed to grow for their majestic shade.

 

Mike has almost 100 trees in pots looking for a home:  contact him for info today.  Text to 559.824.3254.
