I have no idea but I just wanna say it’s beautiful!

What a cool plant!
Looks like pearl acacia to me (Acacia podalyriifolia ). I don’t think you’d have any problems propping it

*Edit:* fell down a bit of a rabbit hole on this–some people say the best case scenario for acacia/wattle is prolonging the life of the cutting for a while, others say they’ve had success with IBA rooting hormone and misting. [This site](https://anpsa.org.au/APOL2008/jun08-1.html) goes into what works for them and why in more detail.
I’d probably just send it and see what happens, but it could go either way

Looks like decorative eucalyptus to me, usually woody cuttings from trees or bushes don’t propagate well

It’s a wattle. Maybe Queensland silver wattle (Acacia podalyriifolia). They’re hard to grow and probably can’t prop it. If the original tree is nearby, you can wait for it to throw seed pods in the spring and then boil the seeds.
