Which maple would you grow for selling?

11 years ago

I'd like to take a stab at growing some maple trees for profit. I'm in zone 5 in northeastern Washington state, a little too cool for the Japanese maples some around here have tried to grow. Like most folks, I like the brilliant red and yellow fall foliage maples give. Any recommendations or favorites? Also where can I buy 100 or so really small trees or liners to start this mini nursery with?

Hedges sell better, but don't forget those maples.
I don't know which maples would be best, .....and I was at Loon Lake last weekend.
