Can I propogate an Oak tree from a branch cutting? If I can, what is the best way to be successful and what is the success rate from growing an Oak from a branch (limb) cutting?

Thank you

Bev - I have a great book called The Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation, 2nd edition, by Michael Dirr and Charles Hauser that says yes, it is possible but not easy. I am happy to send you copies of the pages on oak - email me at dahlfors@illinois.edu or see if the library has a copy!
