You can take some softwood (or tip) cuttings now to try, nothing ventured nothing gained. Strip off the bottom leaves (cutting should be about 6") cut just below a leaf node and leave at least two sets of leaves to produce food for root formation. Use a #1 rooting hormone and stick them into moisten vermiculite and either cover with clear plastic or use intermittent mist system. Humidity is the key to rooting cuttings, one rooted you can remove the plastic from the cutting tray. Janet
