Thread: Royal Empress Tree for brushpiles?

We just broke ground on a new place with a little over an acre lot. I've been researching some shade tree varieties to plant around the place and discovered the Royal Empress Tree. It's a hard wood that grows 15 feet the first year and up to another 30 the second. Some varieties are invasive so you'd want to be careful but if you had enough room to plant several, it seems like it might be a way to keep a good stock of hardwood trees for sinking. Anyone know if these have ever been tried out for this?
