Patrick is very particular about the plant material, but Bradford pear might work (other than for the thorns). He prefers red maple and such…

Siberian elm, Norway maple (or if you know of other places where thinning is needed noninvasive willows, maples, sweet-gum, possibly ash and elm would work). The saplings must be fresh and green and flexible. He needs saplings in GREAT QUANTITY in roughly
