Paulownia, also known as the bluebell tree or kiri, is no longer an insider tip among climate activists and foresters. But what makes it a beacon of hope in the fight against climate change and the ideal choice for renaturalisation projects? This article sheds light on the extraordinary properties of paulownia and its wide range of applications<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2>Fast-growing and a CO\u2082 storage champion<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"dig-1hicw9p1_4-4-0 dig-1hicw9p0_4-4-0 dig-ekabin0_4-4-0 dig-Theme-vis2023 dig-Theme-vis2023--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"><span>The paulownia is one of the fastest growing trees in the world. In just ten to twelve years, it reaches a height of 15 to 25 metres and a trunk diameter of up to 40 centimetres -native trees such as beech or oak take decades to get there. This rapid growth enables it to absorb enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) from the atmosphere.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dig-1hicw9p1_4-4-0 dig-1hicw9p0_4-4-0 dig-ekabin0_4-4-0 dig-Theme-vis2023 dig-Theme-vis2023--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"><span>Experts estimate that a paulownia tree can bind up to 1.2 tonnes of CO\u2082 in 20 years -that is around 46 times more than an oak tree in the same period. Paulownia woodland stores around 36 tonnes of CO\u2082 per hectare per year; a beech forest only stores around 18 tonnes, an oak forest 16 tonnes and a spruce forest 25 tonnes. This turns the paulownia into a real climate saver and significantly contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Robust, adaptable, and bee-friendly<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"dig-1hicw9p1_4-4-0 dig-1hicw9p0_4-4-0 dig-ekabin0_4-4-0 dig-Theme-vis2023 dig-Theme-vis2023--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"><span>The paulownia is not only fast-growing, but also particularly robust. It can cope with a wide variety of soils, tolerates heat and drought and is even frost-resistant down to temperatures of -20 to -25\u00b0C. Especially in times of climate change, when native tree species suffer from drought and heat, the paulownia offers a clear advantage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dig-1hicw9p1_4-4-0 dig-1hicw9p0_4-4-0 dig-ekabin0_4-4-0 dig-Theme-vis2023 dig-Theme-vis2023--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"><span>It is also very resistant to pests and is considered a bee-friendly tree species. Its large, nectar-and pollen-rich flowers attract numerousinsects and promote biodiversity. The large leaves improve the air quality, absorb toxins and enrich the soil with humus.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"myresponsive aligncenter wp-image-23050 size-full\" title=\"Der Klimabaum\" src=\"https:\/\/earthguardian.earth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Klimabaum-EN.jpg\" alt=\"Der Klimabaum\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/earthguardian.earth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Klimabaum-EN.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/earthguardian.earth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Klimabaum-EN-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/earthguardian.earth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Klimabaum-EN-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/earthguardian.earth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Klimabaum-EN-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/earthguardian.earth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Klimabaum-EN-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"dig-1hicw9p1_4-4-0 dig-1hicw9p0_4-4-0 dig-ekabin0_4-4-0 dig-Theme-vis2023 dig-Theme-vis2023--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"><span>Benefits for renaturation and soil quality.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"dig-1hicw9p1_4-4-0 dig-1hicw9p0_4-4-0 dig-ekabin0_4-4-0 dig-Theme-vis2023 dig-Theme-vis2023--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"><span>As a primary tree for restoration projects, the paulownia offers many advantages:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dig-1hicw9p1_4-4-0 dig-1hicw9p0_4-4-0 dig-ekabin0_4-4-0 dig-Theme-vis2023 dig-Theme-vis2023--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"><span>Rapidrevegetation: thanks to its rapid growth, the paulownia creates a green microclimate in a short time and protects the soil from erosion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dig-1hicw9p1_4-4-0 dig-1hicw9p0_4-4-0 dig-ekabin0_4-4-0 dig-Theme-vis2023 dig-Theme-vis2023--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"><span>Soil improvement: the deep roots loosen the soil, promote water retention and improve soil quality in the long term.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"dig-1hicw9p1_4-4-0 dig-1hicw9p0_4-4-0 dig-ekabin0_4-4-0 dig-Theme-vis2023 dig-Theme-vis2023--bright dig-Mode--bright In-Theme-Provider\"><span>Multiple uses: after harvesting, the tree sprouts again from the remaining rootstock so that no new planting is necessary.

In Germany, it is under observation and is not always recommended by forest authorities, especially in woodland.
