MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So tree is stripped of all decs and it would appear its bloody growing!! Now, miserable dad that I am, I'm quite happy to chuck it in the bin, but the wife and kids want me to plant it in the garden! It has developed over the last week and is now covered in bud on the end of the "branches". However I cut it down with a saw do therefore it has no roots! Will it grow if I just stick it in the ground?
No
bung some rooting hormone on the cut end before planting it. It *may* work, or it will, more likely, die anyway, in which case you get to be right!
LOL Rodney you PLONKER 😆
So why is it budding up? Shall I just keep it in the bucket?
Just leave it there all year. Buy a can of hair lacquer and keep spraying it. As long as nobody touches it, the needles will stay in place. Just don't spark up anywhere near it FFS. 🙂
It has no roots
it buds because it does not die straight away and probably a response to the heat.
I doubt it will root
😆 dd!!
Man dies in September/christmas tree/weed/fire ball!
the only way it would root is if it would sucker but I am pretty sure conifers do not sucker.
Interestingly enough, I bought ours because it said it still had root structure and could be planted for next year. However, I can't be farkin bothered and it's going out for recycling tomorrow. 😐
Maybe he could graft it onto an apple tree?
Just get the clippers out man...

Whatever you do, just be careful lifting it with your dodgy back, OP.
Edit: Sadly, for the kids anyway, takisawa2's picture was taken on December 18th.
no it won't root, its latent buds are opening from stored energy from within the trunk
its still dead, cos you killed it 😀
Yeah cheers Jamie! Reamed the **** out of me going for a two hr spin with the wife, kids and glass back today! I'll battle on mind!
