Hi, again!
Saw this plant at a friends today and I quite like it, so question is can I take a cutting? what time of the year is best to do this?

 

[whitenemesis]

Castor oil plant?

Correction - Fastia Japonica

 

[trapperjohn]

If you like that type of plant (whitenemesis is dead on with his ID) try a web site called www.futureprimitive.co.uk Only a small set up but that plant is/was available through them. (Other websites are available, this has no connection with me other than that I am a satisfied customer, more than once)

Most garden centres and the likes of Homebase/B&Q sometime have them in.

Is that correct? Not sure it's the same thing..

 

[greggster]

probably not! definitely Fatsia Japonica, maybe not the fig leaf bit

 

[whitenemesis]

It's green and leafy. That's about my limit, it's Mrs WN whit the knowledge

I know bugger all about plants but it looks the part. I just got a small monkey puzzle tree from a relative which I love. We just accept any kind of cool looking plants/trees from friends and family and have no idea what they're called...latin name or otherwise!
Pah, the youth of today

Take a hardwood cutting at the start of the growing season that should do it, a piece with 3 or 4 old leaf joints. We can propagate vines in the same way you should know in about 3 weeks if it works. Good luck.
