                                Despite some claims of edibility, the fruit of the Paulownia tomentosa, commonly known as the Princess tree, is considered mildly poisonous. This fact, combined with the tree's known invasiveness, makes its consumption a controversial and risky topic for foragers and gardeners alike.
