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.

Cheers for that. I'd rather avoid digging shoots out if I can help it,
essentially I'd like to minimise any damage done to the wild plants if it's
possible. All else fails I guess it's a reliable option, though.
