Has anyone taken cuttings from Broom . ? I planted several broom shrubs 3 years ago .I have since narrowed my borders . My problem is that they are now too near the front. also too big, I would like to move them to the back .
But do they move ok ? , or is cuttings an idea ?
I know that I could just trim back but the last time I killed it because I didnt realise that you couldnt cut into the old wood - so on this point - if I stick to cutting the green growth back I should be ok -maybe !

Sadly they whate being moved. They would die. Cuttings are so easy, that the professionals take a bundle of material, roll them up in tape and put them all in to root together.
Thanks Berghill I will leave them where they are and take cuttings in the late spring.
Thanks Verdun , I will check out Lena and the other compact ones. I will also try cutting back .
When do you hard prune please ?
