Last year I gave my neighbors an Empress/Royal Paulownia 3 foot tree. I had it for 2 years in a gallon can and no place for it. When I gave it to them I told them to please not plant it by the our common fence for it would grow up to tall and shade my yard.

And the other day I looked up and I could not believe what had sprouted up above all my trees in just 1 year! See that 2 stem tree in the V between the brug and the oleander?

So do you think it is going to grow enough to tower over my fence and yard. Woe is me.
