Yes, you can do cuttings but use top growth as I think it'll grow horizontal on side branches. In my area we need to do the cuttings in summer for the heat. I kinda treated it like Poncirus cuttings as I read somewhere they need high light and warm air. I had lower take on the cuttings but I did get some. Seed are variable on the 'Glauca' so you'll get green to blue.

Guy, you're right about the messy part. They abandon small branches all the time and drop them in a mess. The pic of 'Glauca' shows the mess after a wind storm at the base. If we get a cold-snap with dry wind, even more small branches turn bright burned red colour. You need gloves to clean it up as the leaves are stiff and pointed.

Copperbaron, pick a spot somewhat protected and it'll do very well. Even in my z8b a protected spot makes all the difference. Probably the nicest specimen here is facing south against a concrete building.
