Cuttings from citrus plantsAnyone tried it? Just pruned some soft growth - seems worth a try, at least. I don't think they are grafted. It's from the bergamots, which were hard to get hold of, and pricey to boot.

I don't know how to take cuttings of Pricey but have managed to successfully get other citrus to root. 
The best way I've found is to take semi-hardwood cuttings, not the soft new growth, dip them in rooting powder and push into a very gritty/sandy soil or even plain sharp sand. I've found bottom heat in a propagator helps them root but even so they can take a while.
