Take cuttings of firm new growth Apply 0.1% IBA (Rooting hormone) Stick in well drained soil & mist takes 25-60 days to root

I agree with Tony re the Orange Marmalade - though I have seen it hedged. Mine took a while to settle in and was initially a bit straggly, but a few prunings bushed it up a lot. I do like the leaves on this grevillea. Superb is good, as is Ned Kelly. The noisy miners and various wattle birds like all my grevilleas - the marmalade flowers are smaller though. The labels usually mention if they are recommended for hedging. There is a huge amount of info about grevilleas available on google. If you want the lorikeets to visit, you could always put out some food for them while your hedges grow.

As I have tried to make clear previously, I don't dispute that high P levels are relatively more toxic to Proteaceae than to other plant families, but I do believe that many rainforest grevilleas are less susceptible than WA species. Again its a relative thing, and I have certainly found one that isn't. A landscape supplier dumped a truckload of potting mix in my garden, close to some trees but about 6 metres from a G. baileyana. Some months afterwards it died, and on digging up the mix it was full of proteoid roots! Retrospectively, I have realised I have had a much higher proteaceae failure rate since using that mix, so I must find out what's in it. The seller told me it was fine for natives - you'd think that at my age I'd know better than to trust a salesperson, but my problem is I can remember back when most of them were trustworthy. Tony

Yes I think that would be a good idea, I have copy and pasted this from another site : It is best to take your cuttings from the hardened new growth that arises between October and April. The plant producing your cutting material should have finished a growth surge, with a clean and healthy appearance and no moulds on the stems. Cut it into 7-10cm lengths, and trim the leaves off the lower half of the cutting, ensuring no bark is torn off the stem. Remove young growing shoots or flowers. Dip the cut end into a rooting hormone powder to stimulate faster, more reliable root growth. Grevilleas prefer a low nutrient propagation mix, like 1:2 parts peat moss and coarse sand. Place the entire pot in a plastic bag and seal. The new cutting will produce roots in about 4 to 8 weeks, and can be potted up once the roots are 3-5cm long. Are you keeping the cuttings cool like wrapping them in damp paper if not potting up straight away as they will dry out quickly, I have potted up hundreds of cuttings and none have died within four days as they usually have enought moisture in them to keep them alive for a while and this is Queensland. And Pete's (Gardening Australia) other rooting compound is vegemite but I have never tried that interesting all the same yes do let us know how you go.......MM.
