They fruit on one year old wood. Ever bearers will fruit again in the

To propogate just dig up some suckers, leaving some root on the sucker.
Plant them in the ground in early spring/late winter (now).

If you want to try propogating from a wood cutting (suckers are easier and
your neighbor will probably have plenty), look for a 12-24" piece with a few
buds, burry one or two below ground in a slit trench (just a 6" deep slit in
well cultivated organic rich soil).

The question is: how to I root the cuttings? How are the existing
plants pruned? (Do they fruit on new wood or year-old wood?)
