Daphne shoot on exposed root
G'day all
I have a Daphne Odorata growing near a paling fence with a southern aspect and while it's doing well, I know they have a history of carking it for no apparent reason. A few days ago I noticed twin shoots coming from an exposed root, so I'm wondering if anyone has had success in severing a shoot such as these two...I suspect they'd have to be taken as one due to their close proximity to each other. Your thoughts or suggestions please? If you don't think severing this shoot will be successful, then I'll might try striking some cuttings....anyone had success here? Thanks in advance Bronwyn ;-) |

I've heard the best time to take Daphne cuttings is Christmas Day. I think anytime in Spring/Summer should be fine. I think the main problem that they have is rootrot. Just be careful not to overwater. -- Jen |

Daphne shoot on exposed root
Thanks Jen....had never heard of Xmas Day previously, but there are lots
of indicators like that, aren't there? The Daphne won't rot where it is currently planted....the bed is raised about 500mm above ground level, a good location for anything fussy about wet feet.
