How do you take a cherry tree cutting and root to have another plant?

Walter Reeves on Apr 11, 2012It's tough for a homeowner to get a cutting to root. Best is to find a sprout coming from a root a few feet away and dig it up. Be sure to check to see if it has roots of its own before digging.Helpful Reply

Evelyn R on Apr 11, 2012Some things root easily - pussy willow, forsythia, to name just 2. Won't hurt to stick it in water and see what happens. May take some time but keep it in there and see. Keep the water changed and place it in a well lit area. Of course, Walter's suggestion is pretty fool proof.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Apr 12, 2012Cherries are known to be tough to root, as Walter says. If you want to give it a try, use a rooting hormone and try several, potting them in a sterile potting medium like vermiculite and placing them in a couple of spots in your yard, one pretty shady, one with a little more sun.Helpful Reply

Sharon Catania on Mar 14, 2015We had a cherry tree years ago and it re-seeded everywhere. We had to remove it because it was also sprouting in the neighbor's year.Helpful Reply
