Moroccan broom query
I'm thinking of getting a new Cytisus battandieri to replace the large
one I have, which looks as if it will expire in the next year or so. I would put the new one in a spot on its own and leave it to get used to my climate. Can I then dig it up (carefully) and transplant it into the proper site in a year or so? Or will it object to that? Hugh -- Hugh Newbury www.evershot-weather.org |

Or will it object to that? It will object, possibly seriously. I would put it in a fairly large, deep pot, and replant from that. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Seconded, also if you hard prune the original after flowering you may well find it has a new lease of life (NB not below the graft!) -- Charlie, Gardening in Cornwall Holders of National Collections of Clematis viticella and Lapageria rosea cvs http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk |

Seconded, also if you hard prune the original after flowering you may well find it has a new lease of life (NB not below the graft!) Are they grafted? I just noticed the other day that mine has put up a sucker from underground, very close to the main stem. Janet Janet, it depends, they are easy to raise from seed but are then weak rooted and often short lived so traditionally they were grafted onto Laburnum rootstocks, such plants are way more expensive to buy but give much better service. I just did not want to be the cause of ruining a good plant! AAAARRGHH.. there I was thinking the opening leaves on the sucker tip look pretty much like the cytisus, now I'm thinking they could equally well be laburnum leaves :-( Which would also explain why it grew such a tall straight sucker. Will have to go and have a closer look now. Janet. |
