I never thought of that. Would cloning be the same as a cutting? Would the branches be the same as those above the cut? Just curious.
It would be funny if they could clone a bradford pear tree and put the identical trees in the new subdivisions and make an even more obvious statement of their look.
Here in Alabama it seems as if it is snowing when you drive by new subdivision with their new pear trees.

Cloning in plants is taking a cutting or other vegetative propagation like tissue culture. They can even clone themselves, Strawberries for instance, do this with their runners. They are clones because they have exactly the same genetic make up of the original plant. A cutting taken from a shrub will mature much more quickly than growing from a seed.
It's unlikely the branches would be exactly the same, they would only be very similar.
