Thanks for the advice on the cuttings Mandolin, unfortunately I'm all the way down here in the West so won't be able to do any swapping with you :-). I have a couple more questions for you if you don't mind :-)
Is there a 'best' time of year to do this? Better to take them if they're Flowering / not flowering??
And finally, do you cut the top off the cutting too? Someone told me to do this once before but I remember taking lilac cuttings and they all failed :-( ... wonder if this was the reason?
Thanks
