You're welcome, Kitty.  Check on Dirr regarding prime time to take
woody cuttings; they differ.  Some Viburnums are easy and some are
not.  If you can get them earlier, I agree, having a good root system
going into winter is a good plan.  I keep my babies in the
greenhouse, but if that is not available, they need all the head
start they can get!
