Thanks Dave, that's a great link. I see that many of the suppliers listed on their links page are no longer selling Paulownia. It seems this stuff isn't the amazing cash crop everyone thought it would be. I suspect it may be because of the fact that they just don't grow very wide, so maybe even despite the rapid growth, yield per tree may not be so good- just a guess. Maybe it's just lack of demand. Here's an example: http://www.paulownialumberandsupply.com/
