The basic way was just to take cuttings, including at least two nodes, 
one close to the bottom/root end and one close to the top. Trim off most 
of the leaf(some people advocate 1/2 a leaf, others a couple (sizeVs 
stem), then place into various pots of various mixture which you keep moist.

You could buy and use some rooting compound, paint on the bottom of the 
cutting.

All sorts of discussion about softwood(new flexible) Vs hard wood(hard 
stiff) and time of year.

Also, if the branches are soft, you could make a wire staple and peg 
about 1' to 6" of a shoot across the top of a pot of soil making sure 
you bury a node in the soil. That works with some stuff.

Hint, I usually just fill a poly tray with enriched soil and go for the 
numbers game in cuttings. so even if your success rate is low, then you 
might get something.

Is it Euonymous?
