box

Take your cuttings from the box 2 or 3 ins. long, take off the bottom 4 leaves, put the cuttings straight in the ground of your nursery bed, they will take a long time to root but should be ready to move on in October. The ground must be frost free when you plant them, both when you put the cuttings in and in October.

Alternatively using a heated propagator will cut the rooting time from about 8 months to 8 weeks.
