    Fishy, you could cut down a buddlea to the ground and it would bounce back with knobs onimage

    That's true artjak image Isn't it right they originate from the Himalayas? Growing in the UK must be a doddle for them.

  • I caught my white profusion in the gate and ripped a lower branch off...wish I could blame the wind...got buddlea stems in a vase inside now- they seemed too nice to chuck...

    Wearside, England.

    Yes this must be the worst time of year to get high winds, when everything is in full leaf.  Sadly it is out of our control, we'll just have to pick up the pieces tomorrow. image

  • Thanks, Fishy: good luck with your 'bonsaied' buddlea! [plenty of cuttings materials there, no doubt!]. The multi-caned outdoor tomatoes have fared rather better than my italicised single cordons.
