Couldn't resist now need to find a home for it
I've got a cutting growing that just fell into my hand when I walked past a bush! 😉 Looking forward to getting it into the garden 😀
I'm hoping I can keep mine a bit smaller @debrascott I've read you can cut it down hard early each spring if it gets big.
Does it root easily from cuttings my son would like one? @bramblepie did think I could do what you did but didn't find one!!
Yes, they're very easy. Literally a 4" cutting, cut at an angle. Strip all leaves barring two of the strongest. Nip the middle out and then just pop it in a glass jar with water. Change the water every few days. Mines been in water now for roughly a month and its coming on lovely. I shall try and get a picture for you. 😁 (I've put a picture of it on my profile page. Can't find any other way of doing it. Hope it helps 😉).
That's great @bramblepie I will give it a go next year when it has grown a bit😊thanks for the picture.
