You can take Hardwood cuttings & put them in pots of gritty compost & keep them in a cold frame or somewhere sheltered & they'll root by next spring.

Same as the thread on Grapevines. here's the piccy to jog your memory.



Straight cut at the bottom, remove the buds that are going in the compost (they'll only rot) & a slanting cut at the top (sheds moisture)

You can put them in a slit trench with sharp sand at the base but I prefer the pot method.
