Yes this is possible but your best bet is to find a branch that has stemmed from the main trunk that has grown close to the ground. More than likely this branch has taken root though it is attached to the trunk. Cut it from the trunk and dig up its roots and transplant.

Cuttings are without question the easiest method of propagation besides harvesting seed. Simply cut a tender shoot that is at least six inches long. Remove the lower sets of leaves. Dip the cutting in a rooting compound. You can purchase this product at any garden center. Stick the cutting one inch into a good potting mix. Be sure to thoroughly wet the soil prior to planting.
Finally, cover the pot with a clear piece of lightweight plastic. Place the pot in indirect sunlight on an east window seal or under fluorescent lighting. After two weeks, check to see if the plant has rooted by slightly pulling on the stem. If you feel resistance, remove the plastic covering and be sure to keep the soil moist. The plant should then be treated as any other seedling.
