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.

Hello,

Your Daphne retusa plants will be fine for grafting on to. I normally use
mezereum as rootstock material.




thats useful advise I have three retusa and a mezereum to have a go at (says
he full of enthusiasm after an apple tree grafting course yesterday)
