Flowering Crabapple Suckers
 

We had to cut off some suckers from the flowering crabapple tree today, and
I'm wondering how easy it is to root them and make new trees from them?
Should I put them in a bucket with root stimulator, or just plant them
directly into the ground with some miracle gro?

Also...I'd like to transplant some of my Turks Cap so other areas of the
yard and along our trails...do I just take cuttings, or dig some up?

Thanks for any help...I"m researching the answers on google as well:)

Hi Angie,

Were these suckers coming up from the roots, or were they 'watersprouts'
directly off of the trunk?
