[Branch Encyclopedia | Autumn] Paulownia branches

Hello everyone,

SiKiTO's "Branch Delivery Service" delivers the best branches selected by professionals, depending on the weather and stock availability at the time.

The branch we're introducing this time is "Paulownia branches."

Paulownia belongs to the family Paulowniaceae and is native to China.

It features many velvety beige fruits. But actually, these are "buds."

In China, paulownia is said to be the tree where the phoenix resides and is treated as a sacred tree. This image was passed down to Japan and has been cherished.

Even today, it is used as one of the motifs on the 500-yen coin.

Another surprising fact is its "lightness," which is among the top in Japanese trees.

Since it tends to be dry, it's easy to dry and is a versatile floral material for various occasions.

As some powder may fall, please choose a suitable place to display it.

The heat has finally begun to subside. Please enjoy these branches as a sign of autumn.
