Be grateful, roots are preferred and should come before leaves.
Pot them with at least one bud above soil.

Any (unwanted) roots will soon air-dry.

If you want to go crazy:
You can chop the twig up
or plant it horizontally
to have (as some people claim)
more than a 100%+ success.

Thanks I am really happy with it it was a nice surprise.

Or you can send me a piece of that cutting. I would be happy to cut into a couple of new trees. You are lucky!!! Iam having a hard time for cuttings to make any roots.

I watched my old Sicilian grandfather plant cuttings for years and can say I never saw one fail to root. He would take a cutting about 10'' long (preferable with a terminal bud). With a razor blade he would carefully remove the outer bark from the bottom 4''. He would plant In a pot with composted soil. Water,Sunshine,& Love! It worked in St. Louis

Stunato, how deeply did he take off the bark? Just the outer grey layer? do you remember? Thanks.
