  • Can I grow a new tayberry plant from a broken cane?

    Hi all

    Around a month ago we broke one of the canes from our tayberry plant (we've only had it a year, so has not reached the prolific stage yet!). A bit gutted, we popped it into some water and it has been there since. It still seems to be alive... The leaves still look healthy and the buds/shoots have been growing.

    My question is can I just go ahead and plant this in soil now, and if so how? I appreciate I could just give it a go, but space is quite limited in our garden and if it is unlikely to work then I'd rather go ahead and just buy a new plant. If there's a pretty good chance it sill grow on and be healthy, then I'll give it my best shot!

    Many thanks

    Is the rest of the plant, in the ground, still alive/ sending up canes?

    The "cutting" should root, in the water so I'd wait a while longer.

      Yes, it is and seems to be doing well.

      OK, I'll take a closer look to see if it is rooting yet, and if it is but I am not sure if it has rooted enough, then I will post a pic.

      Many thanks for the quick reply.

        I wouldn't worry. The main plant if it is in the ground and doing well will send out runners like a raspberry and if the tips of the canes touch the ground will root. Have you really got room for another Tayberry?
