I pruned some errant branches off my Illinois Everbearing and Wellington, 
back in January, cut 'em into 8-9 inch lengths, and shoved 'em into the 
ground in the nursery area, with 2 or 3 buds above ground.  Some look dead 
now, but others are beginning to unfurl buds.  I'll just leave 'em and see 
what happens this summer.

I've attempted to hold Nov-collected cuttings of my Pakistan 
mulberry(planted with graft union below ground level - it kills back to the 
ground every winter) in the refrigerator over the winter, and root in a 
pot, indoors, with bottom heat(it's sitting on top of the chest-type 
freezer in the kitchen/dining room), but they either mold if I put a clear 
plastic humidity chamber over them or dessicate & die if I don't.
