Since it may be wise for me to sell most of my deciduous tree saplings this year I’m going to work on some selling hooks to stir interest since trees seem to be so difficult to sell if they’re ain’t windbreak trees these days.

How do these sound for descriptions for selling (critique as you like especially if you have any firsthand experience with these trees);

Yellow Birch (Betula allengensis)

More known in the lumber trade rather than the landscape
trade, it is nonetheless a tree to appreciate. While not as fast growing nor as
visually bold as the white-barked birches, it makes up for sheer size and potentially
longer lifespan; Under the right conditions 150 years is the average for the
yellow birch with its mature adult form reaching the towering height of 25
meters. It is a tree suited for naturalization in woodlands and parks, thriving
best in cool moist soils. It’s seeds and catkins feed wildlife, furthering its
place as a good wildlife tree. As a young tree they tolerate some degree of
shade, with them thriving best of all in full sun at maturity. Along with its
bronze to yellow peeling bark, it’s brilliant yellow autumn foliage has helped
Yellow Birch earn its name well.

Gray Birch (Betula populifolia)

A handsome white-barked classic birch tree with a fine
foliage texture. Does best in poor acidic soils but is adaptable as to how
dry/moist said soil may be. A nice suckering tree for naturalization and woodland gardens.

Common Catalpa (Catalpa biginoides)

A good shade tree tolerant of surprisingly many difficult
soil conditions despite it’s preference for rich moist soil. While considered a
coarse tree, its large heart-shaped leaves and large white June-borne flowers
are a lovely ornamental addition to make up for it. Long tubular seed pods in
autumn give it its other nickname of Cigar Tree.

Japanese Tree Lilac (Syringa reticulata)

A good choice for a specimen tree if you like Lilacs but
want something a little different in style. It is one of last to
flower among the Lilac species, blooming in early summer, with very large white fragrant floral plumes.
It is a fairly favoured urban tolerant tree in medium moisture soils for a good
floral show, with many excellent examples of specimens being found in
Stratford, London, and Guelph.
