Pollarded trees do not produce flowers, as these only form on mature wood. However this is a labour intensive solution. If you plant an invasive variety and stop pollarding you have gifted the neighbourhood with a problem.

There is a species listed as non invasive, although they produce seeds. Paulownia elongata, a fast growing tree with many various uses. Sources may rise and fall, but Amazon is currently selling it.
