premium planting stock from TGG the Paulownia propagation people
Headstarters™ are small bare-root Paulownia trees with trimmed trunks. They can be planted directly into the ground and will regenerate rapidly in warm weather with correct management.
Headstarters™ have well-developed roots systems at least 75mm (3 inches) deep. These roots have a framework of thick fleshy main roots as well as some finer feeder roots - not just a single tap root. These thick roots contain the energy the tree needs to quickly re-establish in the field.
The trunks are trimmed just above a strong node usually at about 50 to 75mm (2 to 3 inches) tall. They have many reserve buds, ready to sprout, ensuring a new trunk will develop even if some of the buds are damaged - for example by adverse weather.
