Yes Archie, it is. When I take cuttings from any conifers, I use a 50 50 mix of multi purpose and grit. I spose you could use one of those expensive John Innes mediums, but I don't bother. I remove about a third of the growth at the bottom of a 3" - 6" twig and just stick them into a small pot. If I need to use any hormone help, I just stick it in a bit of honey.
I place several around the edge of the pot. they don't all take, but I normally get a 75% success. You'll know which have died as they will turn brown within a couple of months. They don't all root quickly. but they sit on a shelf in my polyt, get watered with everything else, but apart from that I leave them to it. They can take months to root, once rooted, I pot them on when there's signs of roots at the bottom of the pot. And depending on the variety they may take quite some time to grow into small trees.
