lady boothby fuchsia

hi all,has anyone taken any cuttings of the 1st climing fuchsia if so,
have you had any success

 

Yes it's easy and it isn't strictly a climber,it's a tall upright growing fuchsia that has been around a while despite t&m propoganda,still a nice flower though.

 

Coub is growing Lady Boothy cuttings Cymro ask how his are growing

 

Lady Boothby .

I haven't got this (yet),but don't think there'd be a prob. re. cuttings being taken.Contacted the following to see if they still have them in stock .P&P seems to be £1.75 ,so not too bad.

She is a real beauty.

 

"climbing fuchsia" Really disappointing - though as a fuchsia grower I should not have surprised. Fuchsia's don't twine or self cling, so the only other way for it to climb is to have strong sturdy shoots that can get into companion planting. But I found the growth the first year, weak and sappy - this year its really slow to start. Climbing it ain't. I'll give it a couple of years and if it does no better, its out - flowers are nice, but the same can be said for most fuchsias

Re taking cuttings - from the growth should be no different for normal fuchsias - hard wood cuttings in the autumn, and soft wood, tip cuttings in the spring/summer - works for me
