| Hi - My mock orange shrub is starting to
get some green. My question is - would now be the time to take some cuttings to root? What, should I do ? I have several neighbors, that want some rooted plants. Thank you, all. tina_2 |

| Mock orange spreads underground (not agressively). If you jam a sharp shovel down between the original plant and the new plant(s) you should have cut the ties to the mother plant and will have a nice plant to give away. However it is very important that you drastically cut back the top growth on the new plant, particularly if it is starting to leaf out. |

| Hi - Well, I did not know they will spread and make new plants. I will, have to look around the base of the plant. Thank you, so much. tina_2 |
