I had heard that layering was the easiest way so last autumn I decided to give it a try. You are supposed to peg down branches and they will root where the branch touches the ground. Bush was too prickely so instead of pegging I just layed bricks on wayward branches.
Off one plant I must have roughly 30 plants.
The idea was to grow them as standards or half standards so I've utilised about six, gave a dozen away and chucked the rest in a water butt until i decide what to do with them.

Is it best to move them nowish, or leave them to get better roots first? I have a load of misc. currant, jostaberry, gooseberry cuttings, and was going to give some to a friend, and neither of us are sure what to do... Thanks for advice
