Pretty simple, cut one or two 6-8" lengths of new growth with plump buds in the leaf axils, cut off the leaves but leave the leaf petioles on, wrap in a slightly damp paper towel or newspaper and place in a plastic bag. They can be mailed in a padded envelope or small box and are good for a week or more this way. If it does work out, I can give my address and also reimburse you for any costs. I have propagated several old tree lilacs, both Pekin and Japanese, by budding at this time of the year. The tree lilacs do fantastic in our plains enviroment and are being used as a small tree replacement for green ash. Thanks, Greg.
