Now would be a great time to collect a big branch cutting. Saw it off and stick it in a bucket of water until roots grow then plant out. Can't go wrong

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
