Have just had the unpleasant task of felling my favourite shrub in the
garden - an 8ft tall Daphne bholua 'Darjeeling'.

I was instructed by the Chief Domestic that it had to go as it was blocking
the view from the conservatory, fortunately some of it is left to grow on as
it had two stems. However, I now have masses of grafting material if I only
had some rootstocks.

Any ideas? Are there any commonly available plants that would do?

I have a few small Daphne retusa, which it would be a shame to hack, but I
could use these if they were suitable.


Ray says, do try - he reckons it's almost impossible to root it, as you
know, obviously.
He says also that he thinks this is grounds for a divorce. ;-))) NB - he
leaves me to dish the dirt!
