PAULOWNIAS & THE ENVIRONMENT
It is estimated that for each acre of Paulownia trees planted an average yield of 30,000 board feet of lumber can be expected every 7-10 years. With an average price of $3.00 per board foot, the estimated return on 1 acre of Paulownia trees is $90,000 every 7-10 years.
I believe this wood crop could play a valuable role in monetizing unused land.
Make Millions Growing Empress Tree
Empress trees are incredibly easy to grow. Of course, if you’re going to grow them for money, like this, you’ll want to give them fertile, well-drained and conscientious pruning. But like catalpa, mulberry, and tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima), it belongs to the garbage can class of trees. Not only does it seed all over creation, but it will grow in absolutely terrible soil where few other trees will.
World Tree Technologies Acquires 832-Acre Empress Tree Plantation For $890,000 With Projected Value Over $23 Million in 5 Years
Empress Trees are a fast growth, deciduous hardwood tree that can be harvested every 7-10 years for extremely high value timber. The 257 acres of 3 year old Empress Trees on the property are expected to be harvested in 5 years. At standard expected yield of 30,000 board feet per acre, and nominal pricing of $3 per board foot, the return would be equal to over $23 million in timber value on 257 acres alone.
