:D I knew i'd have the top spot :D

 

I get the impression thats for hard pruned trees.

 

I wouldn't read too much into it - Trees grow at varying rates depending on such factors as available water, nutrients, soil conditions, environment, pests & disease, physiology, biology, weather, climate, age, maintainence... the list goes on.

 

I agree with treesurfer here, Paulownia want grow that quick in this country. If you cut it hard back every year for the foliage, I doubt if it would do 3 metres.

 

If you cut it hard back every year for the foliage over here I doubt it would survive...!! :D
