Can’t recommend these two books highly enough… they say to treat kerria like a forsythia.
Ps. I’d probably do what you’re suggesting but I’m often a bit gung-ho, cut first read later etc

There wasn't much foliage, so I went with the sharp clean knife cut on an outer limb.
Should have taken a photo after the cut. But there was a good amount of root section attached so 🤞
Looking a bit pointless at the moment with its solitary flower, but hopefully it'll take. Idk why but it seems impossible to take nice looking photos of the garden at the moment.

I know kerria is pretty tough, but had a question about trying to split it.
I've got this former cutting, now a proper plant, in a temporary pot/location as we haven't sorted the final home. Now it's flowering, I've decided if would be nice to have second one in another spot.
Logic says plant this one and take cuttings for the original location - but don't want to use this for a few reasons (mainly the size and aethteics of plant, but some others).
My question is this: can I use a sharp knife to cut this section from the rest and plant that? Is it worth a dap of rooting hormone?
My gut says kerria is tough enough to take it. Thoughts?
