Acer

Hi the sun shrilled most of my plants and I thought the acer gone but after the rain we had its come back to.life much better than I thought.
but I would like to take a cutting but I think at the moment maybe its to soon its only a 14 months old also when I do take a cutting what the best way to do it as one who have acer are more qualified to know as once I took a cutting from my freinds acer followed instuctions off the net but it still died
