I work for an environmental activist group in the state of Indiana. A really great part of this job is that I can get so many cuttings of great trees! I found my first Harry Lauders Walkingstick today and thankfully they where home any willing for me to take a couple of cuttings.

The cuttings are about 4" with about an inch of softwood on them with a couple of leafs on the softwood part and tons on the hardwood part. In the PlantFiles I know that it said that they propagate from grafting but is there anyway that I can get these to root? Would they root if I was to take all the leaves off the hardwood area leaving only the couple form the new growth, use rooting hormone on it then just plant the hardwood part?

Or is there any other ideas to get this to work? I do not know, I just hate to pay for trees and the like because they grow in the wild and since I can get cuttings of plants all the time...
