This tree is native to Asia from Korea to Vietnam but will grow in cold weather. It is a mahogany but I don't have any idea how tall it will grow here but it is frequently used as an ornamental tree, commonly called Chinese Mahogony.
Additionally the new shoots and leaves are edible, high in E and Beta Caratine and taste oniony and are often stirfried and eaten in salads. It is a common veggie in asian markets. Commercially grown on small immature trees. The tree suckers readily and these could be cultivated for this purpose. We may even be able to force them for a longer season for edibles.
It is very fast growing and can be under planted with false indigo and Lespendeza
