propagating Styrax

Could you tell me how I would propagate Styrax?

 

All the propagation information I found in our reference books indicates that Styrax is best propagated by softwood cuttings in June to early July (cuttings are easy to root and overwinter easily), or by fresh seed as soon as ripe, kept at 50 degrees for 3 months and then moved to the refrigerator for 3 months.

If you wish to try grafting Styrax, this link to general grafting information from North Carolina State University’s Extension Service may be of use.
