  • Moving black-currant and gooseberry bushes

    I have planted my bushes in a stupid position - when is it safe to move them please? In the autumn when you plant new bushes or in the spring when the new growth starts?

    When they have lost their leaves and are dormant, before they wake up again.

        If you take a big enough root ball with them and give them plenty of water you can transplant them anytime. Cuttings are easier and root easily!

            give them a good soak the night before, then lift them with as much of a rootball as possible to their new site, and I give each bush at least a gallon of water to settle it in, I moved mine in late april and they never seemed to realise they had been moved so we have just had a great crop (had to move them after greenhouse move put what seemed like everything in the wrong place)...
