Native what? if you mean native MJ plants - I'm not sure whether there is any?

If you mean stuff like eucalyptus and grevillia etc then probably not...but the practice of cloning is fairly universal.

I've tried transplanting natives and cloning them and some of them can be very difficult.

Best of Luck,

Hi buddy ,

 

Although we don't do Australian Natives in grow diaries many of us are general culitvators and can help out plenty with Australian Native questions you may have , however personaly speaking i will need you to be a little more specific. ie what would you like to know about them ? Is there a particular plant you have in mind , or is there a particular job that you had in mind that you needed this for ( ie a headge ) , and I guess the last broad question would be what kind of situation are you in , are you able to plant directly into the ground or will you be relying on pots ?

Hi Pure , I have a few in the back yard and have tried to strike them up(clone) last year with no success. I would strike them into pots first and then into the ground.

I think im gettin the time of year wrong for this, but they all flower at different times of the year.

I wont be able to get there names untill tommorrow(If that helps).

I think the timing is most important for taking the cuttings.

Thanks for helping
