I know animals can have limbs surgically replanted and still work. But can the same be said about plants? Could I cleanly cut down a tree, then stick it back on, and have it still grow into itself?
Yes, absolutely it’s possible. You can take the leg of a lion and attach it directly to the neck of a lizard. You can take the lung of a poodle and put it in a fish. It’s called electrical taping.
💯.
I was throwing a shoe at a chicken in my yard and accidentally hit a lemon tree sapling tearing a big branch off. I just electrical tapped it back together and it was good as new within a few months
Yes. It’s a science known as plant grafting. Though usually the process is used to attach one plant to grow from a completely different plant, it can be easily used to reattach a limb to the same/original plant.
Its definitely possible, and even between two different compatible plants
Not sure if it can be done for all plants, but it can certainly work for some. It’s called Grafting.
