take a cutting? I have one that is similar, perhaps I should do the same,
presumably I'll have to wait until the spring now?
I cant see how you'd encourage the bare wood to sprout other than trimming

copy :-)

You could try to improve its general condition by mulching with peat if
you haven't already done so. Pieris needs an acid soil.
