You have several items mentioned here that aren't usually grown from cuttings, at least at the home gardener level. Really only the southern magnolia, and depending perhaps on where you are even that wouldn't be done this early in the year.

I have successfully propagated the southern magnolia and walnut tree the red bud was a cuttings that I got from Kentucky lilac trees are very easy to take from cuttings what part of the us are you In. My grandfather use to propagate chestnut trees I have not had any luck with it he was really good at grafting as well as propagating .
