A branch came loose on one of the buildings serviceberry (Amelanchier) trees. I stuck it into an empty plastic bottle about 3 or so weeks ago and when the larger leaves fell off, new ones--see photo--began emerging, (to my utter astonishment.) I'm wondering if anyone knows if it would be worthwhile to plant it: now, later, when it has, if any, roots, or just give it up?. So far I've got shoots and no rooting. Any advice, tips?
Thanks,
John

I would give it a chance to set roots. It is a suckering tree/shrub so should be easy enough to propogate. Good luck. Lovely color in the fall.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.

I agree to wait for roots before planting. I have a couple Shadblow serviceberry trees and love the flower display in spring. The larger they grow the more showy the flower display.
