www.dongmingsanxin.com Actually how paulownia is tied to the history and being of these countries, is understood from the fact, that it is a part even of the official political life. The Japanese, who like aesthetics, as their symbols have chosen paulownia precisely for an emblem in the prime minister’s office – this is so called “mon“ – a word, used to indicate and underline one’s personal or family identity; its meaning in fact, is close to “coat of arms“ and carrying approximately the same messages. So – the coat of arms in the prime minister’s office in Japan is a stylized picture of paulownia . It is hardly to find more definite manner to express the national importance of paulownia for the Japanese people by its presence on the Order of the Rising Sun. It is the first Japanese order, founded in 1875, which is serviced to persons with credits to the country. We also cannot omit the presence of paulownia on the Japanese currency – on the coins of 500 yen, it is again – the pa...

Uses of Paulownia Tree

Image
Paulownia is famous for planting along road and as an ornamental tree in China . It needs a lot of light and does not like high water tables. It's growth on plantations generally has widely spaced growth rings, meaning that it is soft and of little value; wood with close growth rings is harder and of higher value. It is important in China, Korea, and Japan for making the soundboards of stringed musical instruments such as the guqin, guzheng, pipa, koto, and gayageum. It is also becoming more popular in the building of electric guitars, due to its affordability, availability, tone and looks. Paulownia is also used in Chinese agroforestry systems because it grows fast, its wood is light but strong, its flowers are rich in nectar, its leaves make good fodder for farm animals, it is deep-rooting, and it is late-leafing and its canopy is quite sparse so that crops below it get both light enough to grow and shelter.[7] Paulownia wood is very light, fine-grained, and warp-resista...

Paulownia Lumber Hollow wooden boards Hollow wooden surfboards are made of wood and Epoxy. Hollow wooden surfboards particularly have no foam in their development. (Sheets made with foam and wood are normally known as compsands or polish sheets.) Various development strategies are utilized within the surfboard and help reduce the heaviness of the finished board. By and large, hollow wood surfboard is 30% to 300% heavier than a standard foam surfboard . The primary motivation, aside from magnificence, is this is an all the more ecologically neighborly strategy for development (contrasted with epoxy and polyurethane techniques) which utilizes quickly developing wood, for example, paulownia , cedar, spruce, redwood, and obviously, balsa. The present development strategies dive from the 1930s Tom Blake paddleboarding technique, which supports a focal stringer with exclusively formed transverse ribs secured with a skin and rails. A cutting edge elucidation of Tom Bl...

Paulownia trees have attracted great interest, and the genus has developed a substantial “following” in the US over the past few decades. As highlighted in this communication, they have been popular in Asia for a great many centuries. We have invited the author, who has a commercial agroforestry and tree plantation services company, to share some of his passion for this plant which clearly has substantial potential for sustainable agroforestry systems in many areas of the world. Introduction The Paulownia tree has been grown in China for at least 2600 years. It may well hold the record for history’s oldest plantation tree. In ancient times (221-207 BC), a book entitled On Qin Dynasty reported that thousands of Paulownias were planted around Arfang City in China (1). Paulownia wood, a light-colored hardwood, has been revered for centuries by Japanese craftsmen because of its workability and beauty. In the Japanese tradition, Paulownia was used to build kotos (Japanese harps) because of the wood’s superior acoustical quality. Paulownia species probably first came to the United States sometime during the mid-1800s, although researchers have also discovered evidence that the genus Paulownia grew in the northwestern United States in prehistoric times (2). Because the seeds are very tiny and light in weight (1.75 million per pound), the Chinese immigrants often used the seed to cushion their dishes and other breakables when shipping from the Orient. Some seeds undoubtedly escaped and took root. About 1970, a group of Japanese wood buyers, while driving through Virginia, noticed the trees growing wild. The Japanese began buying up these old-growth (P. tomentosa) Paulownia logs. By 1979, U.S. growers established a commercial plot with three acres of P. elongata planted in Polk County, North Carolina.
