Is it possible to grow a Cherry Blossom tree from a cutting?

[TownofUK]

I have been trying to grow a cherry blossom tree from a cutting for a while but i don't think it's been working. Can anyone help me with this?

Yes it is possible. Get some rooting powder from your agriculture or garden shop and apply it to the part that's going in the ground, then plant.

a Cherry Blossom tree = a Cherry tree.

Pedantic maybe!

oooh RATTER and you complaining about being corrected on another thread :-0

Woofgang, the difference is, I was being helpful and polite, a little pedantic maybe but certainly not belittling.

I never said i was perfect, I'm certainly far from that!!!

Possible yes though it may not grow "true". You will need lots of patience as most tree cuttings take anything up to 18 months to root before you can plant them out. The strike rate is also very variable depending on the strength of the stock, the soil, the weather,etc. so try as many cuttings as you can squeeze in the space, you can always chuck them if they all root or flog them on ebay.

I know aloe Vera is a sturdy plant but can you just cut a leaf off and put it straight in soil for it to grow roots without using any rooting powder?

our nearest garden centre does a five foot cherry tree for £19.95. Prudentia xxx

No, you can't grow it from a leaf, you will need to cut a stalk and put the rooting powder on that.

I'm interested in gardening but i don't particularly know much about it and i am wondering about a few plants like the 1's ive asked about. But wat about frangipani?
