      Tell me about transplanting (?) trees...

      if that's even the right word.

      My favorite tree and flower in the entire world is the Mimosa. Today, I saw one growing near the interstate so I pulled over and broke off one of the branches which had flowers and buds on it.
      Someone told me, if I stick that in the ground and baby it, it could start growing and become a tree. But isn't that sort of like chopping off someone's arm and then expecting a body to grow?
      I also planted one of the buds, being optimistic.

      In either the fall or spring the tree grows brown pods (imagine a pea pod), so perhaps my best bet would be to wait for those and plant a couple instead? When I was a kid and knew nothing about seeds and flowers and such, there was a mimosa in the neighborhood. I picked every single pod that was on it one year and it never did flower again.

      Any gardeners here who could help?

      Many thanks.

      I think it's called surgery - we have tree surgeons here in England.

      Is that the new politically correct name for lumberjacks?

      Plants can grow from cuttings if they are treated right, yes. Many need little more than to be stuck in the ground, willows will grow if laid on the ground, but the stage that the cutting is in determines what you need to do to it. If the branch is dormant, it can be put into moist dirt and it will send out roots. If the branch was green, though, you may need to find some rooting solution.

      Google "growing trees from cuttings"

      Ahhh, many thanks for all of the replies. I did some searching on transplanting (it was the only word I could think of and I knew it was wrong lol) and it seemed like I was being an utter idiot, so I pulled up the branch I planted, took the flowers off to enjoy and threw the rest of it away
      Now I know what to actually research lol... then I need to go and get another branch
