Hello peeps
I was watching a gardening dvd the other night and they suggested growing redcurrant and gooseberry bushes as a standard bush. I thought this was a good idea as it frees up the ground underneath for growing other stuff such as herbs etc.
Ive inherited both bushes and they are a bit scrappy. To train theminto a standard type bush, do i just prune everything away exept one central stem? How long do you think it would take before it became a good size and produced a good amount of fruit?
Unfortunately the dvd raised mmore questions than it answered! Said it was a good idea but didnt show you how to do it!
