I've wondered about the possible uses of these weed trees and if a guy could make a few bucks removing them. Seems they grow so well there should be a way to make a buck out of harvesting them.

Geno at the last meeting of our weed board we were told by the Government liason that after years of selling us Russian Olives that they should all be removed from any riparian areas. There just might be an opportunity there. Lots of them in reservoir areas and shelter belts. Most of them won't be coming out though, people around here, myself included, are stubborn.
