Just remember how invasive those quickie Paulownias are!!! Not to mention

Paulownia is an excellent cash crop, along with white oak, cherry, walnut
and pecan. It is highly prized in Japan and in the US. Paulownia poaching is common on public lands, sometimes private.

A good way to recycle and purify sewage sludge and effluent is to apply them to groves of timber bamboo and Paulownia, low THC hemp, kenaf, cotton and other cash crops. Mike "Sludgeman" Elvin will know much detail about this with ideas for innovative solutions. His convos with L "Manure Baron" L have been enlightening and productive. The problem with utilization/disposal/recycling of livestock manure from factory meat farms could be relieved by utilization of it on cash food and nonfood crops on a large scale.

the dense surface roots for interplanting. Ever considered the eastern US
native Tulip Tree- Liriodendron tulipifera? Gets so so tall, beautiful tall
and straight columnar, 60-80 feet, Fast, good water holder. Good shade
tree. Just keep out of high wind sector if possible.

Does fine in the high winds on exposed (to NorthWest) hilltop location in
the Central Piedmont, NC. This is the best, IMO, nectar source for bees.
TP honey is a rare and special delight. Be sure TP roots have plenty of room
for
expansion in loose rich dirt with plenty of water. They can get really huge in the right growing location.
