I haven't had any luck with roots removed from beech (Fagus sylvatica).
A very large one (5" across) did sprout a single tiny leaf, over a year
later but the stump died in the second year. Smaller ones have never
sprouted for me like elms do. It costs nothing to try though.

Good luck

I got some plants that were called Texas Elms. They
were quite pot bound. I got lots of little things
that I divided from the main plant. I got the plant
when it was dormant.

Thinking it was an elm, I did root cuttings from 1"
diameter roots. Now that the other stuff is
sprouting, I see beach leaves, not elm leaves. What a
beech.

SO............ will these root cuttings sprout or not?
