How do I start a cutting from my Sumak tree? The branch broke off at a joint with a clean break. I now have the cutting in a bucket of water. Paul Hadley bnp10@comcast.net
You can take cuttings from trees yes. Some trees you can just stick the branch in the ground and it will grow, generally it's not that easy. It helps if you know what sort of tree you want to take a cutting of.
My chihuahua mix eats the bark off a fallen staghorn sumac at least once a day, and has shown no ill effects. The flowers of the tree are edible (for people) and contain lots of vitamin C.
Horses can typically eat the bark of Sumac trees with no ill effects and it is not listed as being toxic. However it should be noted that if horses are allowed to strip bark off of trees it can and will kill the trees.
By cutting the rope off the tree
I am not sure when the tree sets its buds, but you would trim the tree after the tree has bloomed in the spring to avoid cutting off the buds for the flowers.
If the nuts won't turn, then i would grind them off with a cutting disc, or just burn them off with a cutting torch.
It depends on the fruit. you twist off apples and pears but cut off citrus fruit. If the fruit requires more than a slight tug to remove from the tree you are better off cutting them off. Pulling can potentially damage the tree.
This is a problem, all right - sumac grows like a weed, and easily from the cut-off stump. A garden center or County Extension Office in your area can tell you how, or what to use, to make sure the sumac is killed fully.
Because of the grease cutting chemicals in it.
When oranges are ripe, you must pick them off the tree, like most other fruit.
sure you can, just take a cutting of the highest denomination note, role it in a good brand honey, stick in seed raising mix and water, in 5-7 weeks you will be picking fresh crisp $20 bills.
by simply plucking it
