LOOKS TO ME THAT THE FOLKS IN CENTURY NEED WORK. I HAVE VISITED THIS AREA A NUMBER OF TIMES OVER THE LAST 4-5 YRS. IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF A COUPLE OF TREE HUGGERS GET INVOLVED AND HURT THE CHANCES FOR THESE PEOPLE TO GET A JOB AND GET OFF THE TAX ROWS.
WAKE UP THEY NEED HELP!!!

If you want to see how fast they grow,drive down Pine Barren road near the Christian Home church,on the east side of the road there is a long drive way that is planted with them. They were planted this summer and are already 10 or 12 feet tall. This rate of growth and their prolific seeding ability, is kind of scary.

If it comes, will it stay or will it be another fly by night operation. we have heard this so many times about this piece of property but nothing ever happens. i certainly won’t hold my breath. I guess it doesn’t hurt to dream. Dream on Mayor

If you look around you will see that several people have Paulownia (Empress) trees in their yards. I know several people that have them, and a couple of places that they are apparently growing wild.

REGARDING:
“what’s wrong with the popcorn tree”

It might not make good charcoal. We’ll let them use whatever they wish. I assume they already have a source of trees in mind.

If they did want popcorn trees, I could spare a few hundred. If they leave a single root, it’ll be back next year.

David blessed with popcorn trees
and chestnuts–which I set out
and pears–which I set out
and pines–which planted themselves

great news, if it’s true. tend to be skeptical till it happens. finding 500 drug free employees in century is a dream. the same doped up, government funded freeloaders will be there. here’s hoping.

Paulownia trees??? If you want a fast growing weed tree that’s pretty in the fall, and spring, and gives good shade, what’s wrong with the popcorn tree?? They’re already plentiful around here….

kudzu’s wunnerful: full of vitamins, legume so it raises the nitrogen level, good ground cover, fights erosion. People ought to build some sort of trellis over their houses so the kudzu shades out the sunlight No telling how much you’d save on cooling costs.

Unlike this stuff, nothing shades out kudzu, though, because it climbs whatever’s there. Frost kills it but the hay it makes is find animal feed.

Genetic engineers need to design a cross between kudzu and peanuts or –better yet–watermelon!!!
