Your Balfour Aralia (Polyscias scutellaria) will definitely branch out if the tall stem is pruned and yes, the cut stem can be propagated for a new plant. I use a rooting hormone powder for propagating stem cuttings and I've heard many say that cinnamon works well too but I've never heard of someone using Aloe gel. I might have to give it a try some time!
