OT: White Myrtle cuttings

I am going to prune my White Crape Myrtle trees this weekend. They are easy to root from cuttings. If anybody wants some, please PM me. Just for shipping +$2, priority or first class, your call. Any size.
I do not have any spectacular photos of my own (didn’t take any) but here is one from the Internet. Search for more photos, the trees are beautiful and need no special care.

Please see PM.

Is that a crape myrtle?

Yes. I added that to the ad above

Do you root these the same as figs?

They are easy rooters and they can follow a similar procedure. I just stick a wood or root cuttings in the ground and they grow (zone 10a). I have not tried to do a paper towel or moss box but I see why not. Please search online for a Myrtle rooting too

Mine all rooted and leafed out and I have planted them in the yard. I'll try to remember to give a followup if they bloom this year.

Brian,
That is very nice! Thanks for an update!
How did you root them?
