Forcing Branches II

After a recent winter storm, there are lots of broken down tree branches in my neighborhood. Otherwise I would not clip branches from a live tree in winter, but since these, unfortunately, will become waste, it's a great opportunity to bring some branches indoors for forcing. Just place branches in water and watch them being fooled that spring is here.These are from tulip magnolia. I took garden clippers and sniped some smaller branches for a vase in my home. The blooms should open after a few days I think.
I also have brought in a branch from my dogwood--it was also broken during the storm. Not sure if that will produce any blooms, but it's worth trying. Besides, it looks great as is.

There's a big cherry tree branch down behind the church, but I have not been back to get a cutting or two from it yet. I'm sure I can force some blooms out of that. My own lilac also got damaged, but I have never had any luck forcing lilac, although I know it's possible.

Another easy-to-force tree that comes in mind is hazel.
