Planting Griselinia Cuttings

Kivaro · 2017-02-22 18:30:39

It seems that November is the ideal time to plant (spear) hedge cuttings, but I was wondering if they would take hold if I planted them in March? The soil is very good and a couple of cuttings that I planted in late Autumn are doing well. Any guidance gratefully accepted.

You have nothing to lose by trying. Just remember to water them if there is a dry spell. The season has been so odd that a lot of the plants don't know what time of year it is!

Thanks Looksee.
I will give it a shot and make sure that they are well watered.

Looking forward to the attempt actually; there will about 50 individual cuttings so it'll be interesting to see what happens and the percentage success/failure rate.
