The technique (which sounds very fancy) is called serpentine layering, and I am offering the instructions from the <a href="http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profiles0602/layering.asp" rel="nofollow">Royal Horticultural Society</a> and also from <a href="http://www.hort.purdue.edu/ext/HO-1.pdf" rel="nofollow">Purdue U Extension</a> for your perusal rather than duplicate the explanation. Easy-ish to "wound" and peg down some branches and get new plants. Hope that helps. Welcome, Siden.
