Everyday I go for a walk I see these two trees. They are a dark color and right now have some reddish-brown buds on the tips of the branches. The awesome thing about them is the shape - they look evil! The branches twist and shoot out randomly, and there is some damage from past storms/lightning which makes them even nicer.
I was wondering if I could simply walk by and grab a branch - would there be any way to grow from that? Also, I don't know the species, so is there any general method to use?
Thanks
