'nother wood ID.

Hmmmm. Leaves are big - about 8" across. There are some little nuts in the last pic - sorry, that's the best shot I could get with the phone.

Thought it was some kind of Catalpa ( or catobby as we say it here ) until I saw the nuts. Catalpa has bean pods and the bark is usually a little rougher.

I was typing the same thing when you sent this.


Del: I agree with Paulownia. Good ID! Some rep sent for that one!

Yep... paulownia or Princess Tree. The leaves are similar in shape and size to the catalpa.

When I lived in VA, locals called it coffee-wood. Old growth logs fetched high prices, they went to Japan where they were used to make musical instruments.

That was an awesome article. Good call on the tree! Somebody rep him for me - I have to spread it around.
