Hi all,
Help me save my Chrismas tree, lol
So basically is there anything I can do to make it root? After all it i-s just a small, possibly 4 foot tree… cut down so young in life… sorry, drunk I be tee-hee… but the question is legit.
“Can you make an already cut tree root again?”
Maybe, but your chances are better if you cut off a few branches and try to grow them. When you root cuttings, you get small, rudimentary roots. They’ll be enough to feed a branch, but not a whole cut Christmas tree.
Here’s how. From a garden store, buy some water-soluble fertilizer (Miracle Grow, for example,) and some rooting enzyme (Rootone, for example.) If you can’t find rooting compound, go find a willow tree. Take a foot of the weeping branch and chop it up. Soak it in water overnight and pour the water on the planted cutting. Don’t put any willow pieces on the cutting’s soil. If you do, you’ll have a young willow tree competing with your pine. Anyway, within two weeks, roots will sprout from your cut branch. Nurture it for a few years, and you’ll have a full grown Christmas tree.
