Coniferous trees reproduce sexually by forming cones which contain seeds. Examples are Pine (Pinus spp.), Spruce (Picea spp.), and Fir (Abies spp.)

Flowering trees reproduce sexually through pollination. Examples include Apple (Malus domestica), Cherry (Prunus spp.), and Magnolia (Magnolia spp.)

Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction where seeds are produced without fertilization. An example is the Common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). Not common in trees but present in some plant species.

Certain tree species reproduce by extending stolons or runners. Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) and some bamboo species (e.g., Phyllostachys spp.) use this method.

Trees that are cut down can regrow from the stump. This method is known as coppicing. Species like Willow (Salix spp.), Oak (Quercus spp.), and Hazel (Corylus spp.) are traditionally coppiced.

Some trees reproduce asexually through root suckers, leading to clonal colonies. Examples include Aspen (Populus tremuloides), Hazel (Corylus spp.), and Elm (Ulmus spp.)

Layering involves the formation of roots on a stem while still attached to the parent plant. Examples include Rhododendron spp. and some species of Magnolia.

Grafting involves the joining of two tree parts so that they grow as one. Fruit trees like Apples (Malus domestica), Pears (Pyrus spp.), and Citrus spp. are often grafted to improve fruit quality.

Tree cuttings involve taking a part of a tree, such as a stem or leaf, and encouraging it to grow into a new tree. Willow (Salix spp.) and Poplar (Populus spp.) are commonly propagated via cuttings.
