Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grow Woodies and Harvest profits for Decades Woody ornamentals, also known as woody cuts, or simply "woodies," are trees and shrubs whose branches are harvested and sold for floral arrangements and craft products such as wreaths. Most woodies have colorful stems, like Red Twig Dogwood, unusual stems like Curly Willow or attractive berries, buds or flowers. Unlike annual plants like flowers and vegetables, woodies can be harvested over and over again for many years. Most woodies have a lifespan of 20-60 years. New plants are produced from cuttings, so it's easy to replace older plants or produce potted woodies for sale to local buyers or the local garden center. Woodies can also provide a year-round income, as different species are ready to harvest during all four seasons. Some of the well-known woodies include holly, nandina and wax myrtle in winter, pussy willows, forysthia and witch hazel in spring, smoke tree, nine bark, hydrangea and filberts in summer and boxwood and beautyberry in the fall. In This Book, You'll Discover: Top 22 woody ornamentals for new growers. Top 10 woodies that produce up to 100 stems per plant. How to pick the best woodies for your local climate and soil. Growing, harvesting and marketing instructions for each species. 6 best "value-added" products to double or triple your profits. Wholesale sources for hundreds of hard-to-find cultivars.

Book excerpt: Growing Bamboo for ProfitBecause bamboo is one of the most widely-used landscaping plants, there is a steady demand for popular varieties. One of the best ways to get in on the bamboo boom is with container-grown bamboo plants. Why container-grown? By growing bamboo in containers - typically 2 to 5 gallon pots - you'll be able to grow more healthy plants in a smaller space, cut down on labor, and have a plant that is ready to load in a customer's car quickly and easily. Growing bamboo for profit is an ideal part-time business if you have limited time, as bamboo plants, especially in containers, are low-maintenance. Unlike seasonal crops such as flowers and vegetables, you get paid even if all your plants don't sell this year. Instead, they just keep growing, and will be more valuable next year. You can start a bamboo growing business with just a small amount of money - just enough to buy your "mother" plants that can be divided to produce more plants to sell. What You'll Learn: Each chapter covers all the basic information you need to get started growing these profitable bamboo varieties, including: Best dwarf, midsize and timber bamboos to grow - 33 in all, with descriptions and photos. How to start and set up your bamboo nursery - water, spacing, potting soils, containers and more. How to grow and propagate bamboo. Eight ways to market your bamboo.
