Paulownia Seed
About the Seed
The seeds come from a fruit called a pod. It has ovoid, woody, egg-shaped capsules about one inch to two inches long. The capsules turn dark brown in the fall and remain on the tree through the winter. One mature tree can easily produce 20,000,000 seeds per season
​
The winged seed are very tiny (0.055-0.12 " long) and are dispersed by wind. Seeds should be collected after they have ripened but before they open. The change in color from green to dark green is a good indicator for collection.
