If the plant gets loose you will absolutly regret it.
The tree is an invasive in many states
When mature the tree is "dirty" first dropping flowers then billions of seeds then those big leaves.
On a similar note..
Have you considered Giant Hogweed 
I actually got one in a plant trade a few years back, the previous owner had no idea how dangerous it was but she liked the giant foliage.
She is lucky she still has her hands.

I am just growing it to coppice, or chop down each year for the big leaves so it wont seed. I think I will pass on the Hogweed, thats some scary stuff lol. I hope it never gets started around here. I plan on destroying the paulownia when I get too old to care for the yard anymore, makes nice big leaves.
