I live in FL and have a Kumquat and Cassia tree in yard.?

We planted one tree and now it looks as if there are two trees coming out of the ground. Can I cut down through and divide and have have two separate trees? The Cassia has many bunches can I divide bunches?

i'am with bill not sure what your wanting to do check on the net there are many ways to propagate and you will learn alot been into trees for a long time
Reply:I'm not sure i understand the question --- but as i think about it where is your kumquat in relation to your cassia ?


your cassia will sucker / or seed real quick ( which is my guess )


but as to separating bunches --- i can't get my head round that .


how tall are the trees you speak of ( because it is difficult to " cut through and divide " as you would call it ) .


look gather the seeds and try to propagate from both trees .


good luck .
Reply:Okay, I think you have two quextions here.





It sounds like your Kumquat is the tree that you planted that now has 2 trunks. This is pretty typical with citrus trees due to the fact they have been grafted. The tree will often try to send up a second sucker or trunk below where it was grafted. Go ahead and wait until you have fruit, and if you notice that one of the trunks doesn't have fruit on it, then it is coming up from below the graft, and you can cut it off. If both trunks produce fruit, go ahead and keep it.





The cassia can be pretty heavily divided, mangled, chopped, mowed, etc. It is pretty much just a pretty, flowering weed. So go at it. Hope this helps.
