Royal empress tree is the fastest growing tree. Did you know In Japan, the tree is planted at the birth of a girl.[15] The fast-growing tree matures when she does. When she is eligible for marriage the tree is cut down and carved into wooden articles for her dowry. Carving the wood of Paulownia is an art form in Japan. In legend, it is said that the phoenix will land only on this tree, and only when a good ruler is in power. Several Asian string instruments are made from P. tomentosa, including the Japanese koto and Korean gayageum zithers. #RoyalEmpress #Tree #Flowers #Barn #BarnWedding #Ceremony #BarnCeremony #LavenderFlowers #DidYouKnow #Japan #GiantLeaves #RanchoLaMission (at Rancho La Mission) https://www.instagram.com/p/COlXbj4M4OF/?igshid=y8563cmpy24x
