The average Christmas tree has grown for about 10 years and has an extensive root system...which is then cut. Generally, unlike house plants, which one can "root" - a tree is usually either grown from seed or grafted onto another plant. A stop at the local nursery could probably tell you if that's possible. Hmm...I think I'll stop and find out! Sounds interesting. I did a little research and no, you cannot replant a cut tree.

I don't have experience with cut trees, but do they sprout roots while in the water of the Christmas tree stand? If so, then it may work, but I think the shock from going from inside temps to outside temps in addition to transplant shock would make the odds very slim, even with a few tiny roots.
