Last summer, about early August, we had a wind storm that dropped a
displayed tree  right on the crown of a $40 Oakleaf Hydrangea.  I took
the peices and cut them into sections that had 2 nodes each and stuck
them in the prop bench.  I got 4 to root, potted them into gallons and
have them for $9.95.  There, I still get my $40, but I had to wait a
year.  But really, $9 plants are more popular than $40 plants.
Anyway, about half the cuttings took.  Maybe less.  You'd likely do
better, as we had little time to toy with cuttings at that time of year.
