The largest I've rooted was about 3-4 inches across. 8-10 inches shouldn't be much of a problem though. I think that if you stick the cutting into some good earth/soil/soiless mix and leave it you'll be greeted with plenty of fragile roots next spring and a pot full by year's end. Just keep it (the soil) moist until you see that roots are forming.

If you mulch it in this winter you'll afford yourself a little extra root-growing time for this season.
