Answer 2

pine grows quick or black walnut or white oak all 3 should grow there very well in 30 years if you where to do all 80 it would be worth around 15 to 20 mil rough est.

Answer 3

Empress trees are good for soft timber if you want to fill it up fast. If you are looking for a quality wood, I would look at evergreen trees such as redwoods, pines.

Another option is to look in to bamboos, especially clumping types and running varieties are OK as long as you have a containment system.
