I'm not familiar enough with trees that grow in your part of the country to make a specific recommendation. What seems to work well for most people I work with is a tree that is unique in it's form, and produces a showy flower at some point in the season. Attracting wildlife is often a consideration.

If you ask a real estate agent, they will tell you a mature, producing fruit tree will add value to your property. A wildlife lover will tell you a tree that produces a fruit, nut or seed that is sought by birds and animals is what they want. An artist will tell you they want something that will compliment the overall view the tree will help produce. The average every day Joe wants something that requires little or no maintenance, and generally takes care of itself.

I am a pro photographer, someone told me this a few years back and it can be applied to any business, and also explains why business fail. Forget advertising in the local papers, equipment, money, hours rates, what others charge and what you think your worth or how you're better than someone else or not as good as someone else or how prestigous a client is or any of those thoughts.

Its called the law of exchange. Business is about exchange (money for goods and or services). A good business is one which provides a valuable exchange, think of a time you bought a meal and thought that was expensive, it didnt represent valuable exchange, or think of a time when you paid top dollar because something was the best and was worth it. or again think when a business failed because they didnt sell enough or their overheads or wastage was too much, it all comes down to exchange or lack of it.

'A product is a thing or service which is both available to and has valuable exchange to someone'.

Here is the key tho getting either the right product/s infront of the right person at the right price to make it successful, or enough products in front of enough people to make it successful. Rolls Royce work on the first rule, McDonalds work on the second.

You can either find out what the art director of a company wants and try and provide that or, If you can sell a picture of little Jonny to his mum so it represents valuable exchange to her, you can also sell a picture of little Peter to his mum. Do this enough times and you have a business.

Without customers all you have is a hobby and even if you have fantastic pictures which the art director or vogue magazine would love if you keep thos pictures in a cupboard and no one knows about them then you have no customers and no business. So rather than think advertising think 'how can I get these pictures in front of the people who will buy them' That may require advertising or a bit of research but always think does it represent valuable exchange to you,

A bridal magazine almost guarantees brides will see your work it may be expensive but if it gets the work then its a lot less expensive than a lineage ad in the local rag which doesnt show any results

So if you want to start a photographic business think how can i get that to people who will buy and how can i produce a product someone will buy. When something works do it and dont do anything different untill you find something that works better. When you make enough then buy the equipment or invest to produce better products. Either way you will only continue to have a business if your products represent valuable exchange.
