Hi, very new here.

I've just moved into my home after it being rented, i had someone coming to mow the lawns during the rental but have now taken that on myself.

im due to mow but ive noticed shoots in the lawn around an old stump. ive used an app to discover that the shoots are from a Japanese Camellia. The house was uilt in the 1930s so I suspect original tree wss planted quite some time, ive been told that the roses in my back garden are around 90 years old ( my gardener was a retired man who told me his father cared for the garden many years ago )

i have two questions.

can i propagate the shoots?

and

Is it possible to tell the age of the original tree from the diameter of the stump?

if it was along the fence line id leave it to see what happens but sadly its not in a good spot and too close to the house.
