Sloes (prunus spinosa)

Seeds or Cuttings?

 

They usually send up new baby trees on runners. I've moved them just by:

1) Carefully dig up the young tree and loosen the roots.
2) Find the umbilical cord that connects it to the parent tree, and follow it along for a couple of feet.
3) Cut the runner, such that you end up with the young tree and its immature roots, plus a couple of feet of its runner.
4) Plant asap where you want it.

I don't know if it helps to take the some of the runner with it, I do it because I guess that some energy reserves are still in there available to the young tree. I could be wrong.

 

Ahh, didn't think of runners, that might be the way to go
