My Ancient Buxus Hedge
I'm supposed to be doing an assignment on propagation but I keep getting distracted and reading peoples' journals when I should be studying. I never really thought about it but us gardeners are like scientists doing experiments on an on-going basis! For example, when we take cuttings we are actually cloning plants. I have whole hedges made of plant clones that came from a box tree in my Nana's garden, which has since disappeared but in reality it lives on in my hedge. And when we swap plants they are often the result of division or cuttings that are actually Clones as well. So in reality in many gardens you could say there is an Attack of the Clones going on out there!
