Paulonia

[tommer9]

HOw hard can I hit a Paulonia. It is about 60 years old, and is in decline. Plenty of dead wood, but is there anything to watch out for on these things? Are they particularly sensitive in any way? Want to try and rejuvenate it if possible.

The obvious I can think of is they are hollow soft in the center. Frost and water retention. Maybe cut them near the node to prevent this.

Never encountered a big specimen in this country.

The modern way of growing Paulownia is by annual pollard to generate huge leaves so I'd say you could hit it pretty hard. If the tree's in decline anyway perhaps that's just what it needs.

They are a common and distinct urban and autoroute weed in France.

Strimmed to the ground only to re-grow with greater vigour and larger leaves than before.
