Thanks. I've cleaned up all the cuttings I was able to grab. 13 in all. I have flush cut the large branch. It's a little bigger than I thought. 6 1/2 feet. The base is very hard and woody. I'm going to try the lean against the fence method that was posted. It looks like the only way to stabilize something of that size. Other than that is there anything different that I need to do when rooting something that large?
