| Blackcurrant, Feb 2019 |
I managed to prune and take cuttings from my currants: six each from red and black, and one from white (the youngest/smallest). I actually have four blackcurrant bushes altogether, and one each of red and white; the redcurrant is pretty big and prolific enough for two though! Still, if I get new plants from these--and I don't manage to give them away--I have wine making on the agenda: it might be possible to have too many redcurrants, but too much redcurrant wine? Surely not.
I took cuttings last year too, all of which failed in the hot dry summer; up until then they all seemed to have rooted and were growing away. I put this year's cuttings in a semi-shaded bed next to my patio, within easy watering reach. Hopefully I can keep them alive if they weather doesn't cooperate.
