I haven't used any rooting hormone, but I do cut all the mature leaves in half. I've been successful with both old and new growth. I also have been keeping them a little more damp than my more establised olive. Good Luck, Cody

You can chip part of the trunk from an old olive (without roots, and hormone, put it in humus, an keep well moisted in shade. Best time is on the beginning of the growing season. Germination will start in a month or so.
