Re[2]: Propagating pyracantha & Citrus, too?

     I trimmed my pyracantha and stuck some of the cuttings in the ground 
     at the beginning of winter (which is pretty much just rain here).  
     They rooted.  The soil is clayey and holds water extremely well.  I 
     didn't use rooting hormone.  I would guess from that that they're 
     pretty easy, and don't need good soil (they're grown in New Mexico, 
     too, in hot dry clays).
     
     Does anyone know if they're dimorphic as seedlings?  I've got a lot of 
     something coming up around my pyracanthas and I assumed they were 
     seedlings, but the leaves have a different shape.  I've pulled most 
     and am watching the rest to see if they develop a different leaf 
     shape.
     
     By the way, does anyone know if you can root citrus from cuttings?  
     When I was in the Philippines, I fell in love with a little fruit 
     called a calamansi (like a tiny, sweetish lime, but round).  Someone 
     here has a tree and gave me a branch that I've cut up and potted, 
     hoping for the best.  I didn't use rooting hormone - should I?

I was hoping to propogate it by cuttings. Can this be done with rooting 
hormone and a cutting? If so, can someone tell me more about this 
procedure? Pyracantha is not invasive here.
