Default Tree Peony

Hello Rodger,

If mine is indeed a grafted Tree Peony does that mean it's not going to look
like a tree at all. The label from the garden centre indicates a height of
3m which made me assume together with it's name that it would be a
decorative flowering tree.

From your posting should I expect more of a tall rounded 3m bush?

I'll be seriously impressed if it makes 3m: I don't think I've ever
seen a shrubby peony more than 6ft (sorry: 2m!) high. And I don't
think any of them make tree-shaped trees, either: aren't they all
multi-stemmed shrubs? But you don't tell us the species or variety, so
perhaps that will shed light on my darkness. I'd guess it's almost
certainly grafted: I believe they're dodgy to propagate by cuttings,
though I haven't tried.

Mike.
