Blackcurrant cuttings.

The blackcurrant was a gift from my cousin

Cheers Kim. In the first year there were a small amount of berries and the second year slightly more. I have big expectations from this next year! Looks quite healthy must be doing something right.

This blackcurrant was the plant that fired my enthiusiasm for fruit growing

I have taken some cuttings and can see some tiny green new growth. I know again these were taken too early as cuttings should be done in winter. I think they are approx 10'' long and I made sure that below the soil there are buds and also buds above the soil where hopefully the new plant will shoot. If 1 or 2 take it will be a bonus.

I clearly have a problem with patience. I knew the cuttings were best done in winter but still went ahead anyway.
