cuttings please?

Re- propagating pyracantha:

Take 3"-4" cuttings of the current year's shoots in July or August and
insert them in equal parts (by volume) of peat and perlite in a
propagating frame at a temperature of 61º F. When the cuttings have
rooted pot them singly into 3" pots and overwinter in a cold frame.

Or take 4"-6" hardwood cuttings in October and put them in a cold
frame. Pot both types of cuttings the following April or May in 4"
pots.

I wish you luck,

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

Emrys does that site have a similar one on Pyracantha. I have tried
entering it in a similar way but it is not coming up. Aud's site was good
but it doesn't give anything on propagation
