Meyer Lemon Cutting

I pruned a branch from the lemon tree because it was crossing over another more vigorous branch.  I've tried rooting other cuttings with minimal success.  I decided to peel back the bark to expose the cambium layer, dipped the plant in rooting hormone, wrapped the stem in moist moss, wrapped the moss in plastic, and cut the leaves to discourage transpiration.  We'll see if this helps the plant develop a decent root system.
