Pamela Brandvold on May 25, 2014Looks like a tobacco plant but the flower and leaf placement tells the rest of the story. First guess. Need another shot of it and its flower.Helpful Reply

Phillip Williams on May 25, 2014Sarah, I believe that you are correct. I live in Augusta GA and these are fairly common here. The flowers will tell the tale, however they have already come and gone for this year...Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on May 25, 2014It does look like Paulownia and it is invasive down here in the South! So I suggest cutting these down to avoid choking out any native plants. Good luck.Helpful Reply

Jay on Oct 18, 2015Sorry for the late post, but yes it is a Paulownia tree---IF you leave it planted I would trim it down to 1 trunk and let it grow---has very pretty light purple flowers come spring time (similar to foxglove bloom)---which will then turn into seed pods (thousands of seeds...). I grow them down here in Alabama and have several planted on my property. FYI--keep away from sewer/septic lines by at least 30 feet for the roots do travel and new seedlings will develop off of these roots. So you have pros/cons with this particular tree :) Best of luck.Helpful Reply
