I planted one of these just outside the fence line on one of my small sacrifice fields. It is non-poisonous to horses, grew really, really fast, and has dense leaves that provide nice shade. I planted it on the west side and in the afternoon if I have a horse in that field they always go stand under it for the shade. They grow really straight and are not interfering with my fence at all. Beautiful purple flowers in the spring as a bonus.

I have two paulownias on the property. That's a good idea.

Austrees are awesome, and grow very fast. I saw them after a year and they were SO much bigger than the little saplings they planted.
