Growing Trees for Profit (Profitable Plants)

This book is not useful whatsoever. This book (more like a glorified PDF file you download for free) is full of cheesy quotes, unoriginal thoughts/ideas, and website recommendations that a 6th grader could easily find within 15 seconds. I'm embarrassed to admit that I actually paid for this.

Very good book with a good balance of introducing different approaches to growing trees and providing excellent tips for starting a business! I really enjoyed the flow of the book, starting with introducing strategies to grow trees for profit and ending with great advice for people who may have never started their own business. I also liked the wide breadth of tree growing strategies covered.

The header since Chapter 5 is off by one chapter which is pretty annoying considering I bought this book for 17 bucks. The information was surface level but the book is inspiring and go getting. I just wished there was a wee more technical advice. I really liked the agroforesting advice from the one walnut farmer. It would also be nice if there were more real examples of farmers in the business of selling trees. The book felt more like a brochure for a trip to small business adventures. I appreciate the author's enthusiasm in it.

Good little book, well organized and well presented. Covers the basics quickly with a lot of very specific leads for more information.

I picked up this book through a Google search in growing Christmas trees. I had no idea you could grow so many other kinds of trees too - especially on small acreage! This book is an excellent overview of all kinds of tree-growing, with links to many resources for more in-depth reading. My brain is full of so many previously-unknown ideas about growing trees for profit!

I just bought some farmland to grow hardwood trees and in particular, Black Walnut. Even though I am a senior citizen, I want to do something for my grandchildren. This book is VERY informative and I am using it as a guide to get started. I hope the writer keeps updating the information.

If you are just beginning with growing/selling trees then this is the book for you. It does a great job of taking you step by step of everything you will need to run your business of of selling trees. I just wish it would have gone a little bit more into detail on a couple of topics.

Want i nformation about growing plants for sale and the book was very good

Useful to some degree but all references & resource links are American, despite being printed in UK , so not so useful.

The book was put together quickly and has hardly nothing of value between the covers. I could have written this book with my limited knowledge. Very disappointed.

"Growing Trees for Profit" von Craig Vollin ist ein Buch, daß Orientierung geben will in der Frage, ob man nicht aus seinem gärtnerischen Hobby etwas (oder etwas mehr) Profit schlagen und eine (teil)erwebliche Laufbahn einschlagen soll, indem man Gehölze anzieht, etwa für den Landschaftsbau, die Bonsaikultur, als Nuss- oder Fruchtbaumlieferanten im Zusammenhang mit Agroforst-Systemen, oder als Spezialist für Japanische Ahorne oder als Weihnachtsbaumproduzent und wie das geht.Abgesehen davon, daß das Biuch für den amerikanischen Markt geschrieben, bei Steuern und rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen in Europa, insbesondere dem deutschsprachigen Raum, kaum hilfreiche Informationen zu bieten hat, ist es insgesamt einfach zu oberflächlich. Einem absoluten Laien auf diesem Gebiet mag es einige neue Einsichten, Hinweise und Einblicke verschaffen, wer aber nur etwas in der gärtnerischen und Baumschul-Materie bewandert ist und nur etwas Erfahrung mit Online-Vermarktung hat, wird das Buch wohl bald enttäuscht zur Seite legen."Writing books for Profit" ist wohl die eignetliche Motivation hinter diesem schmalbrüstigen Bändchen.Darüber hinaus hält das Buch, was es verspricht, nämlich den Geist schnöder Profitgier: wer allen Ernstes immer noch Plastikcontainer und Torf, oder Torfsubstrate empfiehlt, sowie Kunstdünger und Biozide, der ist echt noch nicht im 21. Jahrhundert angekommen. Ökologisches Denken? Nachhaltigkeit? Offensichtlich nie gehört!!Da ist schlechter Rat für 13,27 € noch zu teuer!
