Why is Paulownia called the “Wonder Tree”?

Paulownia is often referred to as the wonder tree due to its extraordinarily fast growth rate, high yield of valuable timber, and ability to rejuvenate depleted soils through nitrogen fixation.
A single tree can yield enough wood to build an entire house within 7-10 years. Its versatility and multi-purpose nature make it an ideal tree for sustainable forestry and agroforestry.
