As you enter the Marsh Discovery Trail at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst, you’ll see a tree with large leaves and strange green pods. And you may well wonder what it is.
"This is a Paulownia tomentosa: princesstree or Royal empress tree," says NJMC horticulturist Ian McDermott. "This tree has purple sweet smelling flowers in late May and June. Sticky seed pods."

are the seeds of the Royal Empress poison?? for dogs and children??
I am not sure. To be safe, make sure your dog and/or kids don’t eat the seeds. Might check further on the Internet. My searches turned up nothing.
Thanks for checking.
