I've heard Paulownia trees are invasive... is this true?
While it is true that some species of Paulownia trees are invasive, ours are not. What makes a paulownia tree invasive is the tree's ability to reproduce from seeds; trees sold from GP Paulownia Plantation are NOT invasive and do not reproduce from seeds as ours are sterile.
