That's called forestry and they have been doing it for hundreds of years. The "sustainable" tag is the bullshit feel good of the times.
Yeah, but have to bow to current sensibilities. 200 years they are probably harvesting some of the areas for about the seventh time then! Usually about 30 years between cuttings!
Not even. A lot of our paper products come from very spindly conifer species selected to grow very fast. Turnaround is more like 5-7 years. Also, because they will never get very big, you can grow them closer together. It's very different than farming trees for wood used in construction/furniture making/etc.
That is quick! I remember something quite a while back about a Guy that thought he had the perfect tree to grow in the Amazon Rainforest so he could make paper close to the source of the clay needed for the high end glossy stuff! He got poplars and planted them and went broke because he hadn't understood that most of the nutrients in the rainforest are locked up in the trees themselves!
Yeah I don't know what they are exactly, but they are ratty looking conifers with a whiter wood than the fastest growing redwood species. Those BTW, can grow more than 6ft per year.
IIRC they are harvested around 6-8" in diameter and at about 20 ft in height.
Although the TP folks might want to start looking at bamboo fiber.
Yeah, Hemp fiber would probably be a bit harsh on the butt, though that is just a W.A.G.!

Oh, now that is going to cause a problem! Though a lot of paper companies are using Sustainable harvesting of trees, where they immediately replant trees where they have finished harvesting so they can come back in so many years and do it again!
