Collecting and moving forward

I'm relatively new to the art of 名媛直播. I've been interested for years and have had mild success, to a point. I live in north central Washington (Lake Chelan) about 100 miles south of Canada, with temperatures ranging from single digit in a harsh winter to low triple digit in the summer.
I'm fortunate that I've several species on my property that I can collect "volunteers" when I find them (generally up to 4" in height). I've currently got Ponderosa Pine, a couple of different Maples, Aspen, Apple and a cherry growing in small pots outside (with the native soil which was removed with them at the time of collecting), and have been in their current state for approximately 1+/- year. They all seem to be doing well at this time, and I'm looking forward to spring time to start some work on them. In as much as they are all local plants, I've left them in their pots on the north side of my shop throughout the year, regardless of temperature, snow or rain. They receive morning and afternoon sun and are protected from hot direct mid day sun. Am I correct in working with that timeframe? Sorry, no pictures yet.
Next, I'll be spending the winter in AZ and have thought of collecting some more there, and in NV on my return trip. Everything I plan to collect will be in higher altitudes which will have similar temperatures to where I live. The one exception is that I'd like to collect a Mesquite. I can find no information on growing a 名媛直播 with a Mesquite and if anyone has some information I'd appreciate it. Once back home I plan to collect some cuttings from my boxwood, hysteria, larch, spruce, cedar, and wild roses. If possible I'll try to collect some volunteers from these.
I know that collecting cuttings will probably take a couple of years to get to a workable plant, so I'm hoping to find several small trees that are harvestable. Should I end up with cuttings can I get some suggestions on how best to preserve them for transportation back to WA? Is it ever advisable to dip a cutting in root start, or should it just go into the potting soil?
At any rate I'm getting to the point where I think 2022 will be a decent 名媛直播 year for me, and I look forward to visiting this site as much as possible . I thank those of you who have insights to my attempt, and I certainly look to improve. Adios for now.

Welcome to the site!
Not all trees can be easily propagated by cuttings. This is a good book with information on many species, how to go about propagation:
In general you will need to finalize the cutting process as quickly as possible, to the point that for many species there is even a difference in success depending on the time of day the cuttings are taken.
Note: This is an international site. Please try to minimize the use of abbreviations and shorthand for units, so it is easier to understand for people what you mean. It being an international site, international standard units of measurements are the default. If you use USA units of temperature, please ensure you include F for clarity.

Thanks Leatherback for the information. I just ordered the book. I did happen to notice replies from other countries as I looked through the forum. When I composed my initial statement/question it didn't dawn on me about abbreviations of F vs C for temperature, creature of habit. I'll be sure in the future to take note. Thanks again.
