IMO - anyone that has them in stock will be glad to get rid of them.

AFAIK - most griselinia have died last/this year due to severe frost and snow.

SO NOW THAT YOU HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE you can haggle with your local supplier.

Lost my 7 foot high rear boundary grisilinea hedge because of the cold weather...:( All thats left is dead wood. I keep hoping that it will return but I think that I will have to dig it out and replace it

Am looking at replacing it with maybe Laurel or Red Robin.

Good Luck anyway ianoo

We have a few red robins around the garden, one in particular I thought was dead and asked my OH to dig it up.

He was about to do the dirty deed but spotted some new shoots sprouting from the seemingly dead branches.

So maybe there is hope yet.

Shurely no one actually buys grisillinea? It roots like nothing else I know apart from willow and short lengths pushed into the ground where you want the hedge will be up and growing in no time.

thanks
