Does anyone know a good method to taking cuttings of a Bay leaf plant? I have two good sized plants in my greenhouse and would love to propogate them. I have heard they are tricky to get to root.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Studley

You can propagate by taking cuttings of shoots 7-10cm long and insert in sandy soil under glass outdoors in a shady place during August to October. Also by layering shoots September October. Also semi-ripe cuttings under glass in June July in close conditions.
This may help you.
