We have a very large Daphne bush and we would like to take cuttings. Is
this possible? We've been told that it is a very difficult plant to
propagate.
My wife is the gardener and doesn't usually have any trouble with
cuttings.
Thanks.

Daphnes are notoriously difficult to propagate from cuttings, those who do
attempt this method of propagation use specialist equipment to do so and
even then expect a very low strike rate.
The most successful method is to graft cuttings onto D. mezereum rootstock
or to grow from seed.
