Cuttings root fairly easily and plants from them bear fruit after about 3 years.
12 to 24 inch cuttings taken in winter from one-year old wood get stripped of leaves and the cuttings treated with rooting hormone and inserted about 2/3 into the soil or into some other warm rooting medium. SO yes it needs some chill hours to callous and then warmth
Plants can also be air-layered, which is my current method (see pictures above.) Though, I have a bunch of 8" to 12" green wood cuttings in a propagation tray just to see of they are going to root.
