Hi Sandra
Take soft wood cuttings in Autumn, plant in pots and they root relatively easily. You can also air-layer them, gently bend a long branch down to the ground and place a brick or a peg over the branch to keep it in contact with the ground. Afert a few months it shouls have roots, cop off and pot up.
Cheers
Graham

Hello and welcome to the Vine!

I 'allowed' the lower branches to trail along the floor and they rooted themselves. I then put them into tubs to bring them on and they all took.
However- do bear in mind that they don't like their roots disturbed so you'll need to take up loads of soil around their roots when you move them.
