You could go by whichever date you first see it available in nurseries, or, if you'd planted it the previous year, go by when you have some solid little seedlings (ca. 3-4 inches high). If you can get the whole tap root out with the seedlings, you may have some luck in transplanting those. We've kept it going in a community garden for several years, but it does spread. It works its way into areas where it shouldn't be, while spots you have set up for it remain bare. Good luck. - Al |

Just wait for next spring! I've tried to email you with regard to that Buddleia I'm trying to identify and of which you have trees - I think you said. Could you post or email me the name, please? -- Sacha (remove the 'x' to email me) |

But the Buddleia I'm trying to ID is quite different to these. The leaves are *very* large, as compared to any 'ordinary' Buddleia and it grows as tall as the house. We're in S. Devon so have no worries with at least trying this Buddleia; the garden it is in at present, is in Cornwall. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the 'x' to email me) |

Sounds like you need a cutting !!
Mine has never been officially identified, but it sounds like the one your describing , which is partly why I went off it, the leaves are so big, BUT it does grow very tall, write to me again if you like ! I have grown small trees in one season from a cutting !! Gea "Sacha" wrote in message .. .
