Can rabbits eat Elongata Paulownia aka Empress trees?
They grow 10-15 feet in a year and reach 100ft. They put out humongous leaves when young.<br /><br />__________ Mon Jan 21, 2013 8:01 pm __________<br /><br />Yea, it can be fed to rabbits and other livestock.

Makes me want to try one out, I see them at the side of the highway, they start off as weedy trees and eventually start to grow like proper trees. Maybe I can keep it in a kiddy pool or something, since I just want the leaves and wood and not the problems it causes, like bamboo can do...

"Perhaps the most intriguing fact about this tree is the way it grows. Although it is notorious for growing at a lightning fast speed, during the first 3 or 4 years it will die at the end of each season. It will do this until it has developed its strong root system. Once the roots are fully developed and are strong enough, the tree will stop dying and take on a more traditional tree form."
