Rubber tree Propagation

I have read the different posts on propagation for rubber trees. He is the problem. I was hunting for a banyan tree cutting at the local dump and ran into a rubber tree somebody pruned or removed. I have about 30-1" x 2 ft sections to root. Leaves stripped xcept for a few. This is too many to bring in so can they be done outside. Will they root in the cold? This is S. Texas so it could be 70+ with 40 for lows. Now the main trunk is about 3" x 6' can it be rooted? Also last question should I reduce the length for rooting ease. They are all sitting in large buckets of water right now. One last thought I have a well that has 78 degree water if I left them in water outside and allowed the well water to trickle into the buckets would there be sufficient warmth to have them root in water? I am kind of shooting from the hip here.


Thanks,

Jim
