How do I grow a tree from a branch? My mother used to do it all the time so I know there’s a way. One is a Japanese maple; the other one is a Japanese coral maple that’s a big tree.

They look like they’re crying and I know they are ???.
I was going to put them individually in little padding sales you know like those little Jiffy Pots but I figured I’d wait and hear from the experts you guys have been so helpful!!!

You can post this online and the site but please also send me an email response I don’t want to miss your answers thank you have a blessed night.

These will root rather easily, but you must follow some guidelines first. Also, if the tree is grafted, you may not get the exact attributes of the tree, i.e., it might be taller, less hardy, etc.
