Followup:

I order one set of two from Flea Bay. It came with
a stern warning that they required cold weather and
that they were just dormant, not dead. They are
currently loving the pampering and have developed
lots of beautiful green leaves.

when the plants get large enough for me to steel
a few clippings, I will try planting clippings
based on what I learned with the choke berries.

And they are not some weird cedar bush either. Their
leaves are clearly dicots

you are much better off not planting things outside
at this time of the year that are new starts. this
sort of heat is tough on plants as it is let alone
a new plant.

get them started in pots now, indoors where it is
cooler and then plant them out in the fall when the
demand upon the plant is less. you will have a
much better chance of having the plant survive next
summer.
