It's the same tree probably. I havnt looked it up. I grew some from seed years ago and the one I have left is in a ten litre pot stunted. It flowered last year and set seed in the cases you showed. The wood is hollow at least on the branches.

Cool. I have never worked on one, this was in the grounds of a large garden we were working in. It did have a funky hole low down on the stem, almost like a wood pecker had made it. But if the branches are hollow then it makes a bit of sence.

The wood is hollow in there sense that it has a large empty pith about the thickness of your little finger.

The timber is light, pale grey-brown, dries very quickly and easily. The Japanese revere it. Interesting stuff, I took one down in my garden years ago and have regretted it ever since. A paulownia in full flower is a magnificent sight.
