Paulownia tomentosa (paulownia).
View through CrossRef
Abstract
P. tomentosa is one of the most important tree species in China. It is a fast-growing tree with high-quality wood, and produces approximately 0.4 cubic metres of timber after 10 years' growth. Currently there are about 1.1 billion Paulownia trees planted throughout China and about 3.0 million cubic metres of Paulownia timber worth US$55 million is exported overseas each year; P. tomentosa represents a substantial proportion of this. The wood is used in furniture, decorative products and musical instruments. P. tomentosa is also suitable for use in agroforestry systems in semi-humid temperate areas. A disadvantage is that this species grows well only on fertile land. More research is needed in order to improve its wood properties and stress tolerance, and increase its use in plantations.
