Has anybody had any experience with Royal Empress trees purchased from:
fast-growing-trees.com ?
Well, I just received mine yesterday and when I showed it to my Co-workers they asked if somebody sent it to me as a Valentines Day Joke! haha. It's a 1 foot twig with a couple of roots on it! Is there actually hope for this stick, um, I mean, tree?
If anything, it's provided a few laughs and the Mimosa I ordered was almost the same but as promised by the grower was about 4ft!

Both your Paulownia and Mimosa are deciduous trees (no leaves in winter). This allows them to be dug up when dormant and sold to you.
I don't live where it snows but I've never seen a Pawlonia wind damaged and they don't sprout up everywhere either. I think you would have to live in a particularly damp area for this to happen. They are very fast growing and grow into a candelabra type shape from an early age. Make sure you only have one main upright stem as suggested, but apart from taking the bottom branches as it grows it shouldn't need any more pruning than that. They are indeed fast growing with a regular watering.

The Empress tree I even have right here in Northern California isn't yet showing leaves, however the buds are turning out to be fuller. It has consistently been a prior due starter even though it did advance approximately 8 ft the 1st year. you will no longer see flora for various years after planting. each little thing else has bloomed and began growing to be leaves, the honeysuckle and the blackberry primocanes have grown as much as 4 ft.

You have a Paulownia tomentosa, Princess or Empress Tree. It will grow great gangbusters, but you need to carefully prune it to shape in into a single trunk, with an even branch pattern and a central leader. If you just leave it to its own devices, it may or more likely may NOT develope into a well-shaped tree. As with all fast-growing trees, it will most likely also be weak-wooded, with branches breaking out in ice and in wind storms, if left unpruned and untrained. Its best attribute is the beautiful lavender flowers in spring. Its worst attribute is the multitude of very fertile seed, popping up in every nook and cranny of your garden.

Plant them, they will grow.
