Average Price for suckers and potted plants

Nicolas Naranja · 03-29-2010, 09:27 AM

I'm trying to put a value to what I have in my nursery and out in the field and I definitely have a good idea of the fruit value, but not the plant value. How much are suckers worth retail and how much are grown out plants in 6" pots worth? I am not trying to enter the retail nursery business or anything but like any business I need to assign a value to my assets and figured that you guys have probably got a pretty good idea of what these things go for at retail.

The prices vary greatly, but I would say a reasonable normal price is $15. Usually its somewhere between $10-$20, but then depending on the variety and where its being purchased they can sometimes be around $70 or more each.

I would have to agree w/ gabe.. If they are in 6" pots what he states is more than fair :^) I know they are not AE's... then you'd be sitting on a gold mine :^)

Thanks, even at the low end of $10 I'm sitting on quite a bit of stock. Of course it's not for sale, but if I ever had to liquidate for some reason now I know.
