I purchased a cut live christmas tree about 1 week before christmas and it is still alive even though now we are In the late part of January.
Can i replant this tree, will it grow again? Obviously i thought maybe not but there might be someone out there who knows. Is it a case of cutting the bottom of the tree at an angle and planting this, or can you take a branch or one of the seeds and plant one of these will they grow?

You *might* be able to get a healthy branch to grow as a cutting. You'll need a pot of potting soil (NOT soil from your garden), moist, but not wet, and a small package of rooting hormone powder that you can get at just about any nursery. Cut a healthy branch off the tree - about as thick around as a pencil, or possibly a bit bigger. Dip the cut end into the rooting powder, and immediately push the cut end into the soil. Firm the soil around the branch, and put it in a place where it will stay cool, but NOT freezing. I can't promise you anything, but it's possible you could get some roots on the branch in time. Good luck.

The short answer is NO. But, that is not entirely true. It depends alot on which species of Christmas Tree you have - none will root from the big trunk. Some theoretically can root from twig cuttings. Most are propagated from seed.
Fraser Fir, most common Christmas tree: So hard it is just not done. Grown from seed by the trade. Ditto other true firs like Noble Fir.
Douglasfir: Somewhat easier than the true firs, but even the commercial growers mostly use seed.
Deodar, or "California Christmas Tree": Might be worth trying twig cuttings. You will need a strong rooting hormone powder. Make a little greenhouse out of a big glass jar.
Pines-White, Scotch, Virginia: Never done - propagate from seed.
Spruce, Colorado and Norway: Like true firs, not done.
So really, the answer is no.
Next year try to find someone who is selling trees with the roots balled and burlapped. You can't do it every year because your yard will end up looking like a Santa's Village. But My favorite tree was my Christmas Tree 9 years ago

No the tree will not survive because the xylem which transports nutrients up the tree have been severed. You could cut off a 3-4 inch piece off the tip of a branch, dip it in Root-on (a rooting hormone) and plant in a container of potting soil mixed with perilite(white styrofoam ball type stuff at garden center) for good drainage. There is a chance you could get this to grow.

An entire, cut, real Christmas tree you can not replant and hope it will live and grow roots again.

It is possible that you can use the tree or a seed, but using a branch is risky. It's highly unlikely that you'll get the result you want from a branch. I don't want to steer you wrongly. Call or go by your nearest plant nursery. They can advize you on the best way to replant your tree in your area before it dies. Good luck to ya!

Well I would say no.The tree is to old know to plant,even if it looks green.It is a tree and they are not usually succeful in planting,even if it is freshly cut.A branch may work if you dipped it in root hormones but I don't think it would work.The tree probably dose not have seed.If you live in the Northern hemisphere it is the wrong time of year to have seeds.

no, a pine tree is not capable of regrowing roots after it is full-grown and has been cut. very few plants are able to do this, and usually are only capable of that much regrowth when they are small shoots.
your pine tree may still look like it is alive, but for all intents and purposes when it was cut it was killed.
