Hi folks
The tree in attached image is of sentimental value and I'd like to know 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. MA http://tinypic.com/r/vf8jlg/7 |

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? |

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. Steve -- Neural network applications, help and support. Neural Network Software. www.npsl1.com EasyNN-plus.

It was covered until recently in pink blossom. TIA for any advice. MA http://tinypic.com/r/vf8jlg/7 Flowering Cherry, without seeing the entire tree it's difficult to get the variety. The bark looks a bit too silvery for Ama-No Gawa, but if it's roughly the shape of a lombardy poplar then that would be my best guess. Propagation is normally by grafting or bud-grafting onto a rootstock of the common wild cherry Prunus avium or on one of the more compact selections of P. avium normally used as understocks for fruiting cherries. Grafting and budding are not so mysterious and difficult that it should put anyone off having a go. Look it up on Google and find yourself a rootstock - dig up a sucker found near almost any cherry and establish it for a complete growing season, then in winter for grafting or July for budding have a go. Strips cut from a polythene sandwich bag will do at a push for tying in. You need a very sharp knife - you should be able to shave with it. Graft using new wood of last summer's growth, bud using firm wood of the current season's growth. Google for 'whip and tongue graft' for grafting and 'chip budding' for budding. You can use 'Tee budding' but chip budding is easier for a beginner. If you know anybody getting 'physio' who is using a 'theraband'(sp) or some similar name, that's good stuff for tying grafts.

Those suckers are the only problem with cherries and can make them difficult to accomodate in small gardens - keep them away from drains and foundations. They'll also heave up your lawns and paths.
