I just keep chuckling about the posts about Texas Mistletoe and California mistletoe.In Texas they shoot the limb off the tree and in California, it protected. Says a lot about the differences in personalities in the states right there.

You ain't kidding punkin. The most common little landscaping plants are getting very pricey at the stores. And for ornamental grass....good racket going on..LOLpunkin said:

Our mistletoe is reachable from the ground, way way too much of it. I picked some before Xmas and tied it up with curl ribbon and some glass ornaments and plastic poinsettias. I got $5 a bunch and sold out! People were really glad to have some to take to parties as a gift.
I have sold lots of plants over the years, we made a living at it at the Farmer's market for a long time. One hint is to make sure your potting mix has enough peat or vermiculite to offset the weight of sand or compost or soil. Transporting pots is heavy work. One of the easiest money makers for us was aloe. Get a few Mama plants sprouting the babies to re-pot and sell like crazy!
