It would be a delusion of grandeur to say we have The Solution to climate change; we do, however have a solution that would reforest denuded land with productive trees, while at the same time giving local farmers employment. Our solution rests on the Paulownia tree, a fast-growing variety of deciduous tree, native to much of China, south to northern Laos and Vietnam and which have been long cultivated elsewhere in eastern Asia, notably in Japan and Korea. The Paulownia has been cultivated in China for 2,000 years and in Japan for centuries. Paulownia is known in Japanese as Kiri; it is also known there as the “princess tree.” Paulownia are used as ornamental trees in European gardens. Paulownia is considered the fastest growing hardwood tree on Earth. Another advantage, the Paulownia is very resistant to disease, pests and insects. The Paulownia is also very adaptable and tolerant of climatic conditions. There are numerous cultivars of Paulownia bred for the conditions we anticipate, including for cultivation on plantations.
