Grafting Daphne
In message , Trevor Appleton
writes 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. Trevor East Yorkshire 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. Cheers Christine -- Chris Boulby National Collection of Diascias |
