I didn't explain myself properly in my first post, but glad I waited to see what advice I got before I started!

Thanks

break the new shoots off at a joint - sort of pull them off, to get a 'heel' and dip it into rooting powder, then into moist compost. some work, some don't. But remember the moon planting bit as well, and take the cuttings after the full moon when the energy is going 'down'.
Good luck.
