10 year revenue cycle, ultimate side hustle. Paulowina timber crop
Making a plan to generate an ongoing revenue stream that is low longterm input(no replanting after harvest) then this concept seems to fit the bill. I'm not sure which is best Variety this company is focused on the Empress variety. This is the one that is banned because of invasiveness In Portugal they banned it because of that.
The elongata Variety is what I'm going to try.
Paulownia elongata. Non invasive variety
10 year maturity for lumber. It regrows from the roots system and does not replanting for @ 8 years or 7 cycles.
That's 70 years of savings for family generational wealth
This company from California will support you to start a tree farm. They will supply samplings, training and technical support through the growth cycle of the trees.
They will also purchase and cut all the trees at maturity of 10 years.
Worldtree seems like a good fit for many people who are new to tree Farming or just want support structure. Link below is the Farmers program They are offering. I've seen a few companies around the world doing newer varieties that seem very cold tolerant.
Of course you can just purchase the samplings and start propagating to get more. Selling the wood is not that difficult either. For simple you can just partner with them for first harvest, then go from there.
Opportunities to prosper and profit World Tree partners with farmers and other landowners to plant and grow the incredibly fast-growing Empress Splendor tree.

The Empress Splendor is one of the fastest-growing hardwood trees in the world. In its first season, it can easily grow to a height of 10 feet and reaches 20 feet on the best sites. It grows to hardwood maturity within 10 years. Even better, it regrows from the stump multiple times, each time producing more timber for harvest.
Empress Splendor trees produce a light, strong hardwood known as the ‘aluminum of lumber’ that is water, rot and termite resistant.
