Wow, good find.
I would not have thought of that on my own.

I was kind of surprised, I always thought of willow as a "wet" wood and didn't burn well

I put a coppicing area in my PDC design. When I did it, the reasoning was purely for the class and wanted to add this element to zone 4. After seeing this it doesn't look that hard. I might have to consider doing it for real.

i have talked with my f-i-l about this in the past. he suggested catalpas. they grow 6-8 feet per year. he said the railroad companies farmed these for railroad ties and wood for their boilers. they don't grow very straight, so they wouldn't be very useful for waddling or heathering a hedge, but after 10 years or so, they are big enough and spread enough for a good tire swing.
