Princesstree, Paulownia
Paulownia tomentosa

Princesstree is native to eastern Asia and was first introduced into North America in the early 1800s for ornamental purposes. The seed were also used as packing material. The wood is valuable as a potential export for musical instruments and as carving wood.
