You mean people actually pay for those things? They grow wild all over most of the properties in my neck of the woods.

I bought some of them and my BH almost killed me. Be very careful where you plant them. They get into the septic lines and have to be cut out. VERRRRY expensive. I bought some leyland cypress from Ron's Nursery on Ebay. Very good deal. If you can't find him, let me know. Those other trees can be found in just about any magazine."Grows 5 feet a year!"

Not dead yet.
Has anyone else heard that those trees are really valuable when they get older? I've heard rumor of either violin makers or Japanese Shinto dudes paying BIG BUCKS (like 10 grand in one instance) for these trees if they are grown in dense forested areas and have long straight sections without branches.

I kind of like the enormous heart shaped leaves and the pretty purple flowers in the springtime though! :dance:

I have three. I got the seedlings from a friend in VA. She says her and her neighbors have had them stolen right from their yards. Not even mature trees.

Yes, the wood from these trees is VERY expensive but I don't think anybody around here cuts and sells the wood. They are very hard for the sawmills to cut, that's why they don't do it. I love the leaves on them too. I'm down to one now we had to kill the others that grew into the septic lines. I am real lucky I survived that one!!!

OK. I seeded 34 peat pots about a month ago. Nothing is coming up! I got the seeds off the tree that was in my back yard at the old house.
I wonder what the hold-up is?

YES, the wood is very expensive.

Personally, I just like the tree. The grape cluster flowers and huge leaves are interesting.

let me know how they turn out. If that works, I'll get some seeds from my tree here and plant them somewhere.

You can see them here. http://www.cdr3.com/empress/
They are advertised in a lot of magazines bragging how they grow 5 feet in a year. They really do grow very fast and they have huge leaves.Great shade trees. Mine have never bloomed so I really can't describe the flowers on them.

Thanks! I have sent an inquiry to the nursery as to whether or not they would be appropriate for hillside stabilization.

I have dealt with Ron's Nursery on Ebay and he is very knowledgeable. I bought some leyland cypress from him and I have sent him several questions and he's great. His email is ronsnursery@yahoo.com
