A Virginia homeowner wants a deer-resistant, fast-growing tree for a long country driveway. Considers Royal Empress (Paulownia) for quick drama, low cost, and deer resistance.
Deer browse early spring growth, but by leaf-out, other forage is available. Low risk.
Paulownia may suffer cold dieback in Virginia. Not fully hardy in all areas.
Contact Virginia Department of Forestry county forester for site-specific advice on Paulownia success and alternatives.
Tulip poplar, sycamore, or hybrid poplars may offer similar speed with better hardiness.
