Estimated price per pound: $7.50
The main advantage of this specialty crop is that you can plant and harvest the different species throughout all of the seasons, and for several decades, making them a solid income source. Used mainly by florists and interior decorators, the woody shrubs and tree stems vary in colour and shape, as well as in their budding. The best-known seasonal woodies include holly, pussy willows, and hydrangeas.
