The ideal time to plant a paulownia tomentosa is the springtime of the icy saints. The tree is hardy only in old age. Maybe keep him in the bucket for the first year. Then find a large enough space for this fast-awake tree. He should be sunny, warm and sheltered from the wind.
Lift a plant hole twice the size of the root ball. If the soil is loamy and heavy, loosen it up with some sand. Too acidic soil can be adjusted with appropriate fertilizer. Put your bluebell tree in the ground as deep as it used to be in the pot / container and pour it well.
