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.

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.

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.

That will flower...................eventually and almost certainly
white single flowers.
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.

Blimey. Thanks Rod. Just getting my head round what that all means will
keep me busy fir a week! Much appreciated though. M.

As has been explained, you can only propagate it by grafting. Some nurseries offer a grafting service if you find you can't (or can't be bothered to) do it yourself.
