Question
You told me how to do the cutting and plant, but you did not
tell me what time of year to do this. I live in piedmont N.
C. if that ,makes a difference.
Thanks

Answer
Hi Jack,
Thanx for your question.  Yes, it does make a difference.  You will have better success with cuttings in the spring.

Here's a link I think you'll find helpful.
