Plant propagation involves creating new plants from a single parent plant. Various methods can be used for propagating plants.

Here the short fast guide: find a tree that can propagate. Trim up unwanted branches or in our case was the mulberry. Cut branches or twigs to a preferred length.
The larger the branch the slower it is to root typically but depending on tree a bigger branch may save a few years of growth.
Optional: put a root stimulant on the bottom before you put it into dirt but I haven’t had much more success using it or notice much difference so do what you will with the info, also can mix root stimulant into water and let the branches soak in it for awhile or apply the stimulant to the dirt.

Last steps are put sticks into dirt below a node of the plant and water regularly, we will shove 20+ sticks into a pot and separate the ones that root from the ones that die out.

Cutting them at a slanted angle gives more surface area from where a root can grow from. At most we should leave one small top leaf
The crape myrtles have to be trimmed differently than regular trees, pretty much cut off any crossing branches but not cutting branches shorter if that makes any sense.

Good luck.
