ABSTRACT
This review’s objective is to determine the present level of knowledge about the origin and use of paulownia trees, especially in European countries where paulownia has just recently been introduced. Numerous studies on paulownia hybrids have demonstrated how the local environment and climatic circumstances significantly affect the growth value of individual clones. This difference is not only related to the development of the growth-related features, but also to the properties of the wood and the possibility of its utilization. Paulownia hybrids and cultivars have a similar appearance, but they react to their environment differently depending on the situation. The best growth (with good results) for this tree is in the Middle East and Southern Europe. These are regions where planting has been practiced extensively in the past. The cultivation of Paulownia today is usually achieved with hybrids of selected traits produced in vitro propagation. The major hybrids include in vitro clone 112, Cotevisa 2 and Shan Tong. Compared to Southern European countries, Central European countries have slower rates of growth and lesser manufacturing capacities. Paulownia breeding experiments are new and often replicate cultivation of Asian or Southern European hybrids. Agronomic techniques are, nevertheless, being produced, and studies are being conducted on responses to local variables. The benefits of growing paulownia in these areas and in other countries around the globe can be clearly seen in the years to come.
