        I think I have given up on seed now. I think more "instant garden" at my age, :biggrin: :rolleyespink:
        Thank you for the thought.

          IMG_20210723_121846_hdr.jpg IMG_20210402_170420.jpg No Vicky, they are all from cuttings. We take cuttings every other year ,plant them out and let them grow for a few years then when they get too woody replace with new., often in a different place. Every autumn we cut them right back hard as they grow extremely quickly!!

          Top pic was taken last week and bottom pic in April....so their growth in just 4 months is amazing!! They are hard to detect in the lower pic but their posts can been seen by the edge of the lawn.

            They are amazing Upsy. I love them but don't think I have an inch of space for one even though I read they could possibly be evergreen here! :sad:
