WOW!!! thanks for saying that "tom j" cuz that's just what i was wanting for
my 2 acres of NOTHINGNESS near klamath. i had been considering the "golden
rain" locust tree (NOT golden chain), but those are REALLY
obnoxious.....anything whose seeds will grow through that red lava rock they
use for landscaping.....translates to: TROUBLE

at least these fast growing trees chuckie posted about are pretty in purple.

Heres a link I have never seen trees like these before. You will
have
to order them on the internet though.

Chuckie, that fast growing tree is a trash tree that is worse than
Mimosa about spreading all over the place. It not only drops hundreds
of seed pods that make more trees, but puts up new trees from the
roots all over the place, sometimes 40 to 50 foot from the closest
parent tree. In Georgia we call it cottonwood because the blooms,
which also are very messy, look like wads of cotton when the pile up
on the ground.
