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 ;-)
