Winter Jasmin cut down in its prime! What to do!

United Kingdom Gb

Hello,

My winter Jasmine used to have its roots on the other side of the fence, in my neighbours garden...I thought it was looking a bit peaky, and found that my neighbour has inadventently cut my jasmines roots off!

What next! Should I take cuttings? Is there any way to save it??!! If cuttings will work, where is the best place to cut, and the best way to prepare and grow the cuttings?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks Marguerite!

I inherited the Jasmin from the last owners of the house, so no idea why the roots were on the other side - but nope, its cut right off, not chance with the roots I'm afraid! I chance my luck with the cuttings.

I suspect that it wasn't YOUR jasmine to start with but grew through from next door and has thrived with some TLC from you. Obviously try cuttings but I'd also wait and see whether there are any roots are on your side since jasmine roots from the tips and you might just be lucky. Good luck. If all else fails you may have to go and buy another one.
