Yes, but it is clonal (asexual) reproduction rather than natural.



hmmmm i like this part;

and everyone takes root and develops into a tree


yea I want to be a tree!

and

seriously if a tree is struck by lightening or wrecked be storm a broken
limb might root, that "new tree" could out live the original tree,
however clonal, is still natural.
