never saw a crimbo tree. you wanna know how to clone. sounds like you need a humidity dome. clones need very high humidity.

Make sure it goes straight in to a glass of water when you take the cutting.
Prune off leaves as laid out in the link i posted.
Then out of the water, a 45 degree cut about a cm below a node, then straight into clonex/aspirin water for 30 secondsish.
Into your medium (coco,rockwool whatever )
Mist with Ph'd water and cover under a dome.
Air and mist them once a day.
And wait,wait,wait....3-4 weeks for me usually.

You gave him great advice, but I dont usually have to wait 3-4 weeks, maybe thats the time it takes for them to have a nice root ball?

Yeh, I think that's the case.
3-4 weeks's is when I find they suddenly perk up and start growing again, which has to mean roots a plenty.
I just leave the f^%k alone until then because I'm worried over messing up...:)
