Hey everyone sweetgum master has 2 million dollars he doesn't want , bet you know that joke already though.

Thats a toughy Eric, depends a lot on whats "hot" in the market like anything else, and then it's not like what you put in now is for this next season, so you have to forecast down the road a few years.

I'd have to say though stick with the biggies then add in what is being asked for by customers over the next few years, JBP, Junis(variety), Elms, BC's, hawthorn, Azelea's, hornbeams. If nothing else look around at the local non bonsai places and monkey see monkey do, they already know what grows, and what goes for landscape stock, the landscape stock could be the differance between making a go of it, or going hungry.

Don't laugh Jeff with the zone changes he might get away with some ficus', and minimal protection. It was funny though.
