Drimys winteri Cuttings? (Llangrove HR9)

I am on my 3rd try with a Drimys winteri which apparently was one of capt cooks sources of vit c. It was doing really well..

The wretched local cats have jumped on a bird and broken its main stem.

I have no idea if the bottom will survuve? or the top root? But if anyone wants to try for a cutting, do come and get one tomorrow or wednesday?
