I grew an Eleagnus angustifolia from seed partly inspired by URG
discussion of the scent. It has only been planted three years but was
quite vigorous and tall (8-10 ft). It's been gradually leaning over and
I thought it was too heavy for me to be able to stake it effectively.
Today it's finally uprooted in the wind.

Are they prone to instability?
Is there any chance of succeeding with cuttings and, if so, any tips?
