I'm inquiring into getting an allotment (rapidly outgrowing the little
garden), and amongst other things I want to grow gooseberries,
blackcurrants, white currants and red currants. Fortunately, we have wild
patches of all of those growing locally, so it seems obvious that a good
way
of getting plants is to take cuttings.

How and when would I be best to do that with currants and gooseberries?


I've never tried cuttings, but can you dig up a few shoots? I did that with
redcurrants last and dug up a new shoot late summer-ish, and they are now
doing very well. Tim.
