Good luck Dean. I did this using a clear plastic cup ... it holds the peat moss better. Cut the cup from lip to bottom & to center of bottom. At bottom, cut a hole the diameter of the branch. Open cup & slip it onto the branch using a clothes pin to hold cup in place - w/the rooting part about 2-3 inches from bottom. Then, pack the cup w/moss & water.
My biggest mistake was cutting it off too soon.
