There's focus delay in the camera. You have to wait for it to assess the light/dark and then focus on what's near field. Firehosing in and out restarts the focusing process over and over. Better to pick a focus spot, continue the tutorial and if there's still no focus, slowly move closer or further out, depending on your camera setting. At any rate, we see the difference between male /female even with out of focus :)
Good question. In my experience some individual plants seem to sucker way more than others. The males I have don't seem to sucker at all. I have read from others' reports that this is a common occurrence. I do dig suckers of female plants I have. It is a good method, but you are limited to the number plants you can propagate this way. I am experimenting with layering and softwood cuttings as well.
I am not sure where you are located, but it is getting pretty late to take hardwood cuttings. You can take softwood cuttings later in the season when new growth is starting to firm up, but that has been difficult to get consistency with in my experience.
In all honesty not that well. I had only one of the cuttings strike root at this point. I have had difficulty with propagating seaberry from cuttings, but I am committed to continue to try. I read recently that it is very important to take cuttings early in the winter, before the solstice, to improve success rate. I have had some success with bottom heating cuttings as well. By far my be best way I have had success is by separating suckers from the main plant. For some reason females tend to sucker more than males.
I've gotten 90% root rate by cutting before buds open in the spring along with willow cuttings in which I place by a sunny window in a vase with water for 2 weeks, roots everytime.

In the summer cut some cuttings and poke them in the ground, they are like weeds and will grow.
How about air layering?
I was considering air layering mine since it’s getting so tall
I'd love to hear how this worked out, what's the success rate on these? Did the honey water seem to make a difference?
See my comment below @Theo Johnson
But since it sends offshoots isn't it easier to dig them out rather than this method?

I was hoping to take some cuttings this weekend - is it too late?
