Have just had the unpleasant task of felling my favourite shrub in the
garden - an 8ft tall Daphne bholua 'Darjeeling'.

I was instructed by the Chief Domestic that it had to go as it was
blocking
the view from the conservatory, fortunately some of it is left to grow
on as
it had two stems. However, I now have masses of grafting material if I
only
had some rootstocks.

Any ideas? Are there any commonly available plants that would do?

I have a few small Daphne retusa, which it would be a shame to hack, but
I
could use these if they were suitable.


Ray says, do try - he reckons it's almost impossible to root it, as you
know, obviously.
He says also that he thinks this is grounds for a divorce.



Sacha

It would have been if it hadn't been possible to leave another 6ft high part
of the plant just to the side of the conservatory window. I just hope it
hasn't killed it.

We're down in Devon BTW 3rd April for a week and might just pay you a
visit.(staying nr Kingsbridge) I think it was Apple Day October 1996 the
last time I was in Landscove.

Are you around during the week?

best wishes

Hello,

Your Daphne retusa plants will be fine for grafting on to. I normally use
mezereum as rootstock material.




thats useful advise I have three retusa and a mezereum to have a go at (says
he full of enthusiasm after an apple tree grafting course yesterday)

Hi Trevor,

Not knowing any better, I foolishly put some tips of D. tangutica into a
mix of sand and vermiculite, my favourite medium for propagating almost
anything, and about 30% rooted for me in the unheated greenhouse in
shade. So if you have loads anyway, why not stick a few growing tips in
to see if you have any luck. I keep the medium moist but not wet.




I have a heated propagator with a few spaces after the overwintering
Argyranthemum cuttings have come out, so I'll give it a go. If I get one out
of 100 it will be a success.

BTW know of any sources of rootstock for apples in Yorkshire (E opf the A1
pref)

Sorry, I've no idea. Never had such grand propagating ambitions....

Good luck with your daphne, let us know how you get on.

I've had success with quite a few shrubs using this method, and I never
bother with rooting hormone stuff, just sheer laziness actually, so if
they root they get potted on, if they don't I throw them out. The
daphnes took about 3 months to root as I recall.

Ray says, do try - he reckons it's almost impossible to root it, as you

He says also that he thinks this is grounds for a divorce.

It would have been if it hadn't been possible to leave another 6ft high part
of the plant just to the side of the conservatory window. I just hope it
hasn't killed it.

We're down in Devon BTW 3rd April for a week and might just pay you a
visit.(staying nr Kingsbridge) I think it was Apple Day October 1996 the
last time I was in Landscove.

Are you around during the week?

This time of year we rarely leave the place and *never* on weekends but we
do have the occasional day out. ;-) Let us know which day you want to come
(01803 762273) and we'll be sure to be here. Tea or lunch on us! Look
forward to it.
