Richard,

Was the limb still attached such as in air layering? Was it a deep winter 
cutting placed in a heated bed of growing medium? Was it June cuttings of 
last years growth? More details please. 

I love my IEM and so do the brids. I eat them, stem and all. Kids love 
them. Make wonderful pie mixed 50/50 with raspberries.
