is the time to do this?

Actually I think it is a bit late. You do want this years growth, but I
think June would give you more rooting time. Cut the new growth off,
remove most of the leaves, Scratch the bark that is to be rooted, and
put them in a sand/peat mixture in a protected place with no direct
sunlight. You have to keep the sand/peat moist, but not standing in
water.

You can also propagate by taking a likely limb and putting a shovel
full of dirt and optionally a brick on top of the dirt. Should
be rooted by next spring.
Thanks.
