Many trees have been planted across various International growing zones with careful monitoring and only the very best plant material chosen for the development of our SUPER SELECT™ series of Genetically Superior Paulownia seedlings.

The A to Z of growing Paulownia is handled by WPI professionals.

In SE USA the best time to plant is Spring time (after the last frost in the area) however we do ship and plant seedlings April through October. Orders placed are shipped on a first come first serve basis and are normally shipped within 7 days of order placement (during the shipping season).

Advance orders are advised (November thru March) for early Spring shipments as the first part of the planting season is hectic to say the least. Place Orders Early To Avoid Disappointment
