Got something interesting happening here.  On either the Celeste or Brown Turkey out at the other property (dont know which one is which and the previous owner doesnt remember, but I'll be able to tell once I get a crop on thanks to you guys!) I was doing some trimming and noticed a root that was breaking the surface and getting out to where the mower would get to it next summer.  So I decided I'd prune it from the base of the tree, pull out as much root as I could, stick it in some potting soil, put a trash bag around it, and see what happens.  This was 25 Feb 14 when I did this.  Here are pictures from tonight nearly a month later.

I was thinking it was more of a sucker than an actual root but hopefully I get a tree out of it. :)

I wish you luck!

Pretty amazing. Now if it just keeps growing I'll be happy.

Lets hope she will make leaves .
Now , here at least, is the time for roots to start expending - the leaves will do that just after .
That is the reason why I gave some fertilizer to the in ground trees at the end of february...

Your absolutely right  - a sucker
its easy way to start a spare tree and im sure it will grow just fine.
