Default mulberry cuttings advice please

My mulberry tree blew over in high winds last night
It would have been about 60 years old (planted when my house was first
built) and had the sweetest fruit which made lovely jam. It was aso a
beautiful shade tree. Unfortunately the trunk just split and broke off
about 50cm above the ground.
Anyway, too late to save the tree, but... although it's really the wrong
time of year to strike mulberry cuttings, I have to at least try. Can
anyone offer tips that might help the success rate? I guess I'll
probably end up buying a new tree from a nursery next autumn, but it
seems worth a shot at least. I'm in Perth in the foothills.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
