There have been several attempts to grow this commercially in the US.
I've heard of a project somewhere in Georgia, I think, and I've seen a
small project in Southern Illinois. It grows incredibly fast -- more
like a weed than a tree.

Grows almost as fast as Kudzu?
=======================
George,
I don't think anything grows faster than Kudzu, or covers more completely.
Bamboo might come close.
