Pettisporum

[giveup]

Not sure about the spelling. I've been given some quite nice pieces of this and wondered whether its possible to root them. Thanks for any advice.

I think you mean Pittosporum.. following instruction are from E-how

Take a 4 to 6 inch cutting from the pittosporum. Choose a firm shoot from the current season's growth, with foliage that is fully formed. Keep the cutting moist and out of direct sun until it is time to plant it.

Fill a nursery pot with equal parts of sand and peat moss, well combined. Run water over the mixture until it drains from the bottom of the pot. Use your finger to poke a planting hole in the soil and set the pot aside.

Thank you both for your advice (and the spelling--I knew it didn't look right) I will give it a try tomorrow.
