Can you start a root from a cherry tree branch? If so, how?

Question

Our tree lost its main branch and two more appeared from the bottom. It did hav one cherry on it this summer. It is only anout three foot tall. But one of those branches broke off and we wondered if we could start another tree from it?

Answer 1

No you need a seed (pit) keep the tree well watered and it might produce later on .

Answer 2

you can not

Answer 3

If you have a flexible branch low enough, you can layer it and it will probably room.  That takes time and the best way to do it is to dig a hole and push the branch into soft dirt and cover it with a rock.  It still have to receive nourishment from the tree until it takes root.  You can do this with many shrubs so you don't have to pay $50 bucks for a shrub.

Answer 4

TRY A BRANCH WITH THE BOTTOM CUT INTO A SPEAR SHAPE AND DIP IN ROOTING COMPOUND- DUSTING ONLY

PLACE IN GROUND AND LEAVE IT TILL NEXT YEAR- DO NOT REMOVE- OR TOUCH IT --TILL YOU SEE NEW SPROUTS.

WATER EVERY WEEK. I DID THIS WITH A CREPT MYRTLE AND IT WORKED.

PUT THE HOLE IN THE GROUND WITH A PENCILE OR s***w DRIVER, KEEPS THE ROOT COMPOUND IN PLACE-

Answer 5

those "branches" are called suckers in the landscape lingo, and no you can't re root a sucker that will survive.

Sorry about your tree loss, but cherr trees are and can be real finicky it seems, and if you end up replacing it, try to find a self polinating species of the cherry .
