Paulownia tomentosa, common names princess tree, empress tree, or foxglove-tree
£35
You can let this tree grow and it will get bushy with purple flowers or to suit a tropical garden... In the winter chop the tree down to about 3ft. Winter Hardy so no protection needed.
When it starts growing in the summer keep removing the side shoots, flowers and leaves to encourage height. Just leave a couple of leaves on.
When it gets to the height you want (I have had 16ft in 1 year!)
Let a handful of leaves grow on top. That way you get huge canopy leaves about 70cm in diameter. Remember to steak the tree. It's a real show stopper once at full height!
In the winter chop it down again and start over.
