I am planning on planting a gooseberry and red currant up against a south facing fence, I want to train them as double cordons, can anyone tell me the spacing between the two leader shoots and space between plants.
Thanks

I'd go for roughly 12" between the shoots and about 24" between the bushes.
Might be worth fixing some horizontal wires to the fence before planting to make tying in easier. -
Thanks for your swift reply Nick

Second Nicks spacings. I have Gooseberries and redcurrants trained as triple cordons - plants spaced 3 foot apart with 12" between the cordons. They're against a fence with wires every 18-24" and I've tied canes vertically at each cordon position as this makes it easier to tie them in during the season before the wood ripens.
