Hello. Recently I corresponded (by phone and regular mail) with someone from 
Alberta who received protocols from the U of Saskatchewan for rooting Prunus. 
We plan to try them ourselves as we have been quite unsuccessful in our 
efforts to date. I will have to find the information and type it out for the 
group. I am leaving shortly for Easter so I will not get this done until 
sometime next week.

Subject: [NAFEX] propagating prunus 

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.

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.
