Hi all

I have a rather large, well established Cotoneaster at work but i would
like to take a cutting from it to grow at home to brighten up the shabby
fence panel i have. I'm rather impatient and would like to take a large
section (thick woody branch) as I have read that it does not produce
flowers or berrys for a few years (i do have a small one that has seeded
itself a little bit away from the main branch that i could take up and
plant at home, but as I said I'm a little impatient, any help on how i
would go about doing this would be apreciated.


How about a multi-option approach?

Lift the small one and transplant it and then try a variety of methods (as
described here) to try and produce a viable cutting.
If you get a nice big cutting then you can replace the small plant or grow
two plants.
If after a couple of years you haven't managed to get a decent cutting then
your original plant will have been growing during all that time.

Cheers
