Hi Don, I apologize: Things became quite busy here since May. Carefully thought out plans had to be thrown out as unexpected events have continued to come into our lives. I have spent very little time with my email. Now I am just trying my best to keep things watered outside. I will try to find a moment to send you some cuttings of Tyrelle. As far as how to root them, my advice is if you have a way that works for you, use it. There are many different methods used by "amateurs". The one that I here most often from different areas to the country is to prepare the cutting, dipping it in one of the rooting hormones, stick it in the ground in a mostly shady area and cover it with a glass jar. That's all. Around here we usually have enough rain but I would expect to have to water the ground around occasionally. After a couple of months, the cutting should be ready to dig up and transplant to a permanent home. I have yet to try this because we are dealing with critters that tunnel through the ground eating plants. The critters that do that here are voles. I know CA has there own and larger critters that do the same. There are ways to control them and that is just one of the many things occupying my time. (Just received a phone call notifying me of another unexpected event. Life is way more "interesting" than I could ever have imagined!) Please don't hesitate to remind me weekly.
