With its beautiful flowers in spring and the strikingly large leaves afterwards, the bluebell tree (bot. Paulownia) is an extraordinary plant. The capsule-shaped fruits, on the other hand, are rather inconspicuous, but often remain on the tree well into winter.
The fruits of the blue bell tree are inedible
Paulownia fruits and seeds are considered inedible to slightly poisonous. Nevertheless, due to their simplicity, they pose a minor threat at best.
Wisteria's bean-like pods are much more enticing to children and are also significantly more toxic. The leaves of the blue bell tree are not only edible, but also very tasty. They can be used in cooking similar to spinach and are also used as animal feed.
The essentials in brief:
- Fruits inedible to slightly poisonous
- Leaves edible and tasty
- Leaves can also be used as animal feed
