Ginkgo and Crab apple propagation

My first question is about propagating crab apple (Malus, sp.) 
cultivars.  Since seeds would be unlikely to come true, I would like to 
try cuttings.  Softwood or hardwood?  And what time of year?  

In regard to germinating ginkgo seeds, I collected some in the late 
fall, cleaned them of their pulp, and placed them in damp sphagnum moss 
in a plastic bag in the crisper of my refrigerator where they germinated 
in early spring.  Those that had not germinated in the frig by May did 
so when I brought the bag out and left it at room temp for a week or so.
