The message
from "MC Emily" contains these words:

OK, at the lack of any further guidance, I've just cut this 'branch' off as
low as I could and put it in a pot of compost. I put some little stones in
the bottom so it doesn't get waterlogged. I've also cut the tips off the
top - there are about 5 or 6 growing points - so that they're not sapping
all the energy, so hopefully the energy will go into root formation. I've
put the pot close to the original tree so that the situation for it is the
same but I've given it some shelter from the afternoon sun (ha-ha!!). It
will get some sun in the morning up to dinnertime but I thought it would do
better without getting too hot. How long will it take before it roots and I
can put it in the ground?

I'd have mixed some sharp sand with the compost. And I'm not too proud
to use rooting hormone either...
