Can I take cuttings of a 'Red Robin' bush?


Our Advice:

Photinia 'Red Robin' can be propagated by taking semi-ripe cuttings in mid to late-summer. The cuttings need to be 10-15 cm long, with the leaves removed from the lower third of the cutting. Insert them into multi-purpose compost mixed with sand and use rooting hormone. Cover the cuttings with a polythene bag to prevent drying out.
