Hi folks

The tree in attached image is of sentimental value and I'd like to kno
w
what it is and how to take a cutting from it or propogate it by any
means.

It was covered until recently in pink blossom.

TIA for any advice.

Looks very much like Winter Flowering Cherry to me.

Just chopped ours down, too big for our tiny garden.

The neighbour had some of the wood for woodturning ;-))

It is some form of Columnar Flowering Prunus Trees, not easy to
propagate, but most certainly not a winter flowering cherry.

Hmm.

It's an odd columnar shape right enough: http://tinypic.com/r/mlgfmf/7

I'd guessed it was a cherry tree of some kind and was delighted to have
this confirmed. Now I'm having doubts due to Dave's post. Any second
opinions?

There is such a tree in my garden. It has grown very high. It is a
very attractive tree when in flower. It requires no help apart from an
annual "trim" by a tree surgeon. It produces a lot of suckers which I
remove every year though I did let one grow a few years ago and gave
it to a friend just to see what would happen. It is now about 20 feet
tall but doesn't flower.
