    Found someone had dumped a load of cuttings on my neighbours raised beds on the lotty...(yes very cheeky!!)

    is it choisya? I snaffled one of their cuttings to have a go at growing myself

                    Definitely looks like one. Next time you're this way you can have as many cuttings as you like. :blue thumb:

                      Lucky you! T'other Half found a large potted Schefflera (Umbrella Tree) at our rubbish bins some years ago and we have two now.

                        Might be the ordinary green version.
                        Mine gets a bit chlorotic looking at times. :biggrin:

                          I agree but they could have come from the lower leaves of Sundance, as in the picture above that I've just taken.

                            I miss mine from my last garden. I don't think it would survive the low temperatures here.
