I'm going to try this season. I'm reasonably good with propogation from Elm cuttings.

It's got to the point where there are sufficient branches that I won't killl it if I remove 15 of them or something. The real problem is that it's SO slow growing that there's only older woody cutting to take - the new growth is never long enough to take softwood cuttings.

In fact it only seems to keep throwing new branches from the trunk. The existing branches hardly seem to grow (or do it slowly) little branches of their own...
