La naturaleza nunca deja de sorprendernos con sus maravillosas creaciones, por eso hoy te presentamos un árbol que es excepcional: la Paulownia Tomentosa, conocido como Kiri o Arbol Emperatriz, al que también podría bautizarse como “El Arbol Mágico”. ¿Por qué te decimos esto? El Kiri absorbe más dióxido de carbono que cualquier otro árbol, emite grandes cantidades de oxígeno, sus gruesas y profundas raíces salvan de la erosión los suelos, sobrevive al fuego (debido a su capacidad de regenera las raíces), vive hasta 100 años y retoña hasta 5 veces del mismo tronco. Además, tiene la velocidad de crecimiento más elevadas del Reino Vegetal: en un año crece cuatro metros y medio.
