Has anybody successfully grown a Chilean Fire Bush from cuttings?

if yes, how?


No, but they set seed fairly readily which germinate without
difficulty IME. Remember that CFB (Embothrium) are members of the
protea family and don't like phosphate, so don't use a general purpose
fertiliser on them, stick with nitrogen and potash only, or at best
only tomato fertiliser.
