A sapling is a grown seedling that is about a year or older. It is usually planted in a big plastic pot to be ready for replanting to the ground. The biggest advantage of selling saplings over selling seedlings is the price. The sapling costs about 5 times or more than the seedlings which take a long time to be a sapling. In the picture are the saplings that I delivered.
Saplings for sale are usually fruit trees. In my case, I have mango seeds that I planted in a big soft plastic pot (as can be seen in the picture) and after a year the saplings are sold for $10 while the seedlings that are 2 months old are sold for $2 to $3 only. The other saplings that I had recently sold are the cashew saplings that will bear fruit in 3 years time, the custard apple saplings that will bear fruits within 1 year and other fruit trees like guava, mulberry and other tropical fruit trees. This small business is best for those who love plants.
