Well here`s my first (of many?) Q.
I have a Russian vine bought to cover a sort of entrance arch I built, I`m very happy with it and would like to propagate it as with the postage it was quite expensive.
Could anyone tell how this is done? P

Thanks for that Kildermorie I will go for the layering idea as I haven`t yet developed "gardeners patience" P

Further to K's good advice I would layer 2 or 3 stems, just to give you higher odds of success. If they all 'take', well and good.

You will get replies on how dreadfully invasive Russian Vine is, but as long as you look after it, it will be fine. You take cuttings in summer - cut off some fresh growth and put in sandy soil. Layering is easier and can be done now. Bring a shoot down to the ground burying part of the stem and putting a brick or stone on top.
