Has anyone grown a Paulownia Tomentosa, foxglove tree?

Question:I am tempted to grow one of these. They look fascinating. Has anyone any tips or experience with these trees. Any info gratefully recieved.

Answers:
Messy, weedy tree that has escaped urban cultivation from New York to Georgia and naturalized in our countryside. Brittle wood often breaks in the wind because it grows sooooo fast. Very dense shade beneath this tree that little grows there; large leaves and very dense crown. Pale violet flowers are interesting and nicely fragrant (vanilla scented). Produces very large numbers of PacMan-like seed pods with up to 2000 winged seeds per pod. Seeds and PacMan-like pods are a mess to clean-up. This tree grows to 30-40 feet tall and wide. Hardy in USDA cold hardiness zones 5 to 9. Native to China.
