30 foot tree with 18'' leaves

19 years ago

A friend of mine's father (who is gone now)

planted a little thing that is now 30 ft tall with

gigantic leaves.

We were wondering what the heck it is.

It has becaome approx a single 3" trunk with these

ridiculously huge 18"+ leaves. 30' tall.

I have 2 pics. how can I get them to someone who might know?

Perhaps it is a Paulonia tomentosa tree. The link states leaves are smaller but if damaged as young tree or purposely "stooled", or "coppiced", the leaves grow to at least 18". josh

Or it could be Magnolia microphyla, the "Big Leaf". Check the top photo on this link and scroll down page for complete description. josh
