shonman Posted November 13, 2013 Willow...hmmm.... "7. Willows. This trouble-free tree is easy to grow and maintain, and the shoots, also called rods, and catkins enjoy a strong demand. Florists use the stems for arrangements and wreaths, and crafters use the shoots for basketry and other fiber arts, such as garden trellises and rustic willow furniture. A recent University of Kentucky report found growers could harvest 4-5 tons of willow shoots per acre, which bring $7 a pound from basket weavers. That works out to $56,000 per acre." http://www.profitableplantsdigest.com/10-most-profitable-specialty-crops-to-grow/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
