Shrub propagation article (post #15294)

Please help. I am trying to find an article in a back issue from a few years ago. It dealt with 3 types of shrub propagation and had a list of the shrubs best suited to each type. I have been through my magazines, but just can't find it? Anybody remember this one?

Nandina, from some beautiful plants that I have.

It depends on how many you want and how fast you want them to look like much. Nandina increases in size every year, growing outward. It would be easiest ("easiest" being a relative term) to take an axe to yours and chop chunks off the outside of the clump, remove them, and replant them where you want them before it starts to grow in spring. It will NOT be an easy job, but it'll get you quicker landscape results.
