Chilean Guava cuttings

Hi everyone new to this site. I have read somewhere that you can layer the Chilean Guava and was wondering if anyone knew how to do this with this specific plant. Thanks Graham

    I expect it's the same as layering any other plant.

    Find a low growing stel that can be pegged down into the ground or into a pot of compost, scrape off a bit of the bark at the point where it will touch the soil or compost and then peg it down so it stays in contact.  Water if dry and then hope that roots grow from the wound.   It can take months but when they have rooted you then sever the rooted stem from the main plant and pot on.
