Paulownia elongata is a species of tree in the family Paulowniaceae, native to Asia.

Paulownia elongata is cultivated as an ornamental tree for use in gardens and parks.

Due to the large quantity of biomass produced annually, it is suited for use as biofuel feedstock.

Paulownia elongata is planted as a forestry tree producing strong, yet light, wood.

Some proponents state that P. elongata plantations can reach a harvestable size in five to seven years.
