Can I cut the two taller stems at soil level & try to root in either water or soil?

The only way I know how to propagate these is by separating them at root level. You have to be careful not to break/cut the tuberous roots apart or the "bulb" won't survive, but you can literally pull apart/cut them in half (root ball that is, with above ground foliage attached) and end up with two plants.

I agree You can divide up your plant. You might be surprised how many plants are actually in your pot. Still, it looks like a young plant. It may reproduce for you threefold this season giving you more plants to divide by gall. Also, I have random Asparagus Fern popping up in various places in the yard. The berries, if you get any grow, obviously, very easy.

Asparagus Fern (Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri') leaf stems will not form roots, the only way to propagate is by division. I hope they aren't invasive in your area because they are a terrible pest plant and those little bulbous things spread and send out runners everywhere.

Mockingbirds love the berries when they turn red.

I took those pics after evicting some volunteers from my Mom's yard. That was a lovely novelty potted plant when we lived in OH, but not welcome here after she got an outbreak of it all around her yard from one potted plant. You're in the same zone as me, Kathy. Probably hardy where you are too if it gets loose in the ground (so I would trim the bloom things off, if it makes any, so it won't then make berries that drop & are moved by birds all over the area & sprout.)

You could (carefully, so the thorns don't get you) feel around the base of your plant and see if it feels like more than 1 area where the leaves are emerging. If so, you should be able to unpot & pull them apart.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.
