Does anyone know when the best time is to take privet hedge cuttings.
I need to grow a few as i havw gaps in one (a varigated) and need to
lengthen the run of another one (a green one).

I have a greenhouse if that helps?

thanks


I took semi-ripe ones in late summer a couple of years back and heeled them
in in a bit of spare ground over winter. I got about 30-40% to take. You
could probably take some now, stick them in a pot of sandy soil in the
greenhouse and you'd get some to root as the temperature rises over the next
few months.
