im pretty sure that technique won’t work for hard wood cutting?
cut it into loads of bits about 2inch long, have the bottom cut right at the node, remove all but one or two leaves, but loads of them in damp soil, 40% will probably die

Huh, interesting. My mother in law gave me about 8 pieces in 2 Jam jars a while back. I didn’t expect anything of them, but 4 of them put out roots.
Based on absolutely zero horticultural knowledge & my exceptionally limited personal experience:
1. Make them shorter 2. Make more of them 3. Put them in deeper jars, full to the top 4. Strip the bottom section that’s in the water of leaves
They’re the only obvious things I can see different from the cuttings I was given, which had a 50% success rate.
