Can you get a smell from it as the one in the garden next door has no smell I love it and the smell.

Clare I think the smell is stronger in hot weather.

I can't say I ever got a scent from it, I'm afraid.

Lost mine last winter, hubby cut it down and left the stump about 3ft, there are now shoots about 9" tall all around the bottom, not sure what to do with them all!

Fran there is a very big one down towards Bray and as we are walking we can smell it about 10 mtr. away, and after the rain it is amazing.

That's a great photo

I had two of them and lost both of them last winter. I think i lost so much was because my garden was planted in 2010 and they weren't established long enough.I think when you rub or bruise a leaf that's when you get the scent and you release the oil. It's really lovely.

My neigbour needs to move hers as undermining wall.

Assuming it can be manhandled due to its height, is it a good time in September to move

Tony, if it's undermining a wall, it means the roots are under the foundations, which will make moving it very difficult. Oct/Nov may be a better time.

Good to see it thrive after it got the chop
