Wow, Lisa, I am so jealous of your invasive silk trees.  I have a few 
seedlings that have barely grown during the past three years.  In California, 
it seems they take a long time to get established out in the open, in poor 
soil and with little irrigation.  Yet, I see them growing in freeway medians, 
apparently without irrigation, and they grow pretty fast once they get a few 
feet tall.  They cast such a nice, light shade.
 
I would use these and black locust for cutting down the frost, rather than 
Autumn olive.  Isn't that invasive where you are?  Are the silk trees 
spreading by seed?  I wouldn't be too excited about that.
 
Take care,
 
Rain

G'day,

Following is a vid of us having some fun in the trees which may or may not
be of interest:

Benjamin Falloon is doing a great job with the development of his family
farm blog....http://www.taranakifarm.com...He has a great talent of taking a
little video (using his Panasonic Handycam) and getting it produced and
online in most cases same day. I am really enjoying his approach and
application of this media.

I have been working at their place since 1998.

All the best
