Sorry no, the last two winter's killed back my escalonia. It does recover but it has to cut back to near enough the ground. The cuttings I took are laurel, however, you won't find an easier hedge to take cuttings from than escalonia. You can do this really anytime once the growing season begins; just cut off below a new shoot, pick off most of the leaves/twigs, dip in rooting powder and pot in compost. You should get approx 90% success rate. It's that easy. Escalonia is a lovely hedge, but not that hardy. Grows like mad though!
