Post #5810441

So...my neighbor has a holly bush that's been growing through our fence since we moved in. I told my DH many times to leave it alone, I liked it there. I caught him hitting it with an herbicide several times (he forgets until I remind him) trying to get rid of it. He's run over it with the lawnmower and, in general, has tried to either kill it or beat it back but it will not give up. These have been abused for 4 years now and they look wonderful.

It has finally come through the fence far enough so that I got 4 good sized cuttings from it. I asked the lady what it was and she said it was Blue Girl.

I put two in rooting hormone and stuck them in a pot and the other 2 are in water. Which is the best way to root these for next year?
