cloning a Christmas tree?

Pretty much. They grow fast, straight and dont take up too much land. The wood itself is a good product for what it is used for.

Sweet. I might see about getting some cuttings and growing them out in a hydro system. No need for them to get any taller then 6 feet at max.

I worked for the USFS for years doing this kind of work. Rooted cuttings are possible but most of the time they are grafts of trees. You take root stock from between 1 and 3 years depending on the diameter of the cutting and cut the top off, then take your cutting match it and tape it together. About 90% take and are put into tree improvement programs. This usually takes place in a nursery setting. Come back tomorrow I will find a bunch of photos from when the graft goes wrong, some weird shit happens.

By the way if any of you need help with any of this I am a wealth of knowledge on the subject and would be happy to help.

I know people that regularly plant out there trees after the holiday, they have been known to root.
