What easy to propagate, but good selling, shade trees, fruit bearing trees and vines, and decorative shrubs should one start with? (Gulf South region, lower Zone 8)

Best answer:

Answer by SK Wildflower Rescue
A couple of things you may want to look into first. Cost on Limited Liability Corp. This way you cannot be sued personally should anything occur legal wise with business. Insurance. Nursery registration within state and any permits required for growing on your land or proposed location.

Building a website. May I suggest looking at SBI.

Then organization of business, expenses, business cards, pots, potting soil, water, fertilizer etc.

Once all of that horrible stuff is out of the way take a look at your customers, your local area. Visit nurseries and see what they seem to carry in numbers and also important what is on clearance. Take a look at the neighborhood. Then determine if you want to compete or if you have discovered a “niche” that the local growers missed.

I would suggest growing items from seed and cuttings to begin with. You can buy anything from wholesalers to grow from small plants to larger for retail sales. Region 8 is a warm weather market and can grow quite a few items. You can specialize in Wildflowers and Native Plants. You can do basic bedding plants that are massed produced, but there is probably lots of competition on that already, hanging baskets, etc.

Do your research, then do it again. There are several books on the market as well. Check out “So You Want to Start a Nursery” by Tony Avent. Good luck.

Kitchen banter between my parents on returning home from Maine, touching on a new greenhouse project, a cactus older than I am, and lots of dogs barking.
