Dear Hal, You might want to consider planting male hybrid poplar trees.
They are usuallly planted rather densly for the pulp industry, they are rather low maintainence and have a harvest cycle of about 15 years as they grow upwards to 10 feet a year, though 7 feet is more probable. Contact your neighborhood pulp or paper mill and they should have some information that you need as to planting spacing and where to get them, you might even find out that they would be willing to lease your land and do everything that needs to be done including the harvest, which will then give your heirs the distant income that you desire. If you do not have any luck with your locals, try American pulp and paper companies as they are planting thousands of acres down here all of the time. Try some search engines to find out about this.
