'Fraid not Bud. Best use the logs for something else (wood turning, fire logs...

If the shoots are still young ones you could try to root them though.

thanks for the fast reply, they are for my wood burner,i just thought i'd give it a try, yes they are young shoots, how would i root them?

Seems a shame to burn cherrywood - it polishes up beautifully!
Without seeing the shoots its difficult to advise you. Its too early for hardwood cuttings and perhaps a bit too early for softwood. Anyway, avoid old hard last years growth. Cut off the newer part, and trim all the lower leaves off it leaving about two pairs at the top - you want to cut down the leaf area to avoid unnecessary moisture loss. PLant the stem into a pot of open gritty compost. Keep it damp but not soggy, somewhere out of direct sun. It may help to put a plastic bag over the pot to conserve moisture but avoid the leaves touching the bag. Also a good idea to punch a few holes in it for a bit of air circulation. And don't hold your breath!
I have never done this with tree cuttings but it works for lots of shrubs - am hoping someone with more experience of tree propagation can give you better advice.

Hi Bud, you can take green wood cuttings in early summer, and prepare them as Steragram says, but instead o a polythene bag, you will need to use a propagator or heat mat, as they need some bottom heat to get them to root, Derek.

As a side issue, Bud - if your logs are still sprouting, don't attempt to use 'em in your woodburner this winter - they will still have far too high a water content to burn well, and you'll gum up your flue if you try. Hardwoods generally need 1.5 - 2 years to dry out properly. We have burnt a variety of woods in ours, and keep our wood stacked for ages before using it. When it's ready, cherry burns beautifully, with quite a hot flame. I do hope I'm not teaching my grandmother to suck eggs....:o)

Thanks Derek - I did wonder if they'd need bottom heat.

Thanks to all of you for the help,i'm trying a few experiments with them,cuttings etc,i'm a carpenter so i might do something else with them, as steragram said it would be a shame to burn them.

Good luck all :-)
