I saved a large handfull of dormant prunings from the tops of all the Evans cherries the voles got, is there a way with some type of rooting hormone to propagate these 12" sticks??

Thanks Tom, unfortunatly these are under an inch dia. and the 12" of stripped trunk has already cracked to the center, so I must presume the sapwod is dead also.

You have a window of opportunity. The tree dies because it cannot get energy back down to the rootstock. The rootstock has to starve before the tree dies. It could take 2 years for a large healthy rootstock to die.
I would take cuttings now and store them, and bridge graft after they have leafed out or are definately out ofdormancy.
That is what I would do with apples anyway.
