I was doing some reading a few days ago on propagating Camphor tress and it talked about cuttings having "heels" would work best. What is a heel?

Instead of just cutting a limb off, you would slice or pull the limb off to where you get a piece of the cambium layer where the limb is attached.

Here is an easy definition of it.

Oh, so you want to take a little part of the branch with the cutting. Thanks.
