If so which part can I cut off?

Thank you in advance

easy peasy. take cuttings from an actively growing part of plant. it should be roughly the same thickness as a ? hmm not as thick as pencil anyway but strong enough to support itself upright. take cutting in spring/summer and remove 75 % of foliage cut on angle just below leaf bud and stick in sandy mix keep moist and wait a few weeks. i would take ten or so and expect 50 percent success.keep out of direct sun and good luck. i place shopping bag over entire pot with 5 to 20 cuttings inside and place on saucer. been a while since i have taken any murraya cuttings as my garden grown bushes are constantly self seeding. with a little help from the birds....cheers kris.
