Empress Tree. Paulownia tomentosa
It has fragrant purple flowers shaped like fox glove that bloom and fall April and May.
That sounds beautiful, there were a lot of Jacarandas where I grew up in Australia, they have lovely purple flowers too.
Horrible invasive around my area, it's huge leaves soak up sun and it's crazy fast growing outcompetes natives :(
Yeah, it can be controversial. Best not to plant it near a foundation. There are few in a mostly empty field near where I live and another few in a park where the trees are spread out.
