Paulownia trees are the fast growing tropical trees which are light and hence being very expensive. The wood made from the tree is worth a fortune due to the beauty that is found in that furniture made from it. Due to the lightness it dries up fast hence perfect for things like musical instruments and the other items like the cabinets.

The paulownia tree is the best choice in such an area due to the resistance it has to any insect and thus has passed the test of time. It took sometime before discovering the specie but now it is being planted worldwide and people are happy with the results it is giving. It has been used as an example to show how the indigenous tree can transform into a very important product.

The hard wood produced makes it more perfect for items that are to be placed outside. They do not break easily and are durable hence stands all weather conditions and other outdoor elements. This together with other characteristics like the strong resistant to termites makes them more preferred in the market and its product sell at a higher pace compared to other trees.

Each family tries to have one in their home or have a place where they go to pray under the tree. The occasions are also done around the same tree and believe that it has some cultural meaning.

Decaying is what makes most of the trees depreciate in value and this is where the paulownia tree stands out. It is also resistant to decay and also rot so long as it does not touch the ground. This is the ideal wood to build houses because it can be used at the baseline because they can stand all the pressure.
