Cutting Currants and Gooseberries by Layering and Cuttings
Cuttings from currant bushes yield reliable new plants. Gooseberries root better by layering rather than cuttings. Take fall cuttings seven inches long from the current season's wood, lay them in moist beds with tips exposed, and mulch heavily. Keep them for one year before transplanting to permanent rows.
Basket Use for Picking Fruit and Market Quality
A half bushel basket is ideal for picking fruit to avoid bruising. Attach a hook to the handle to hang on a ladder or tree limb. Careful emptying into the barrel prevents bruised fruit from reducing top market price. Gentle handling ensures full market value if growing season troubles are controlled. Careful picking is essential to preserve the grower’s effort.
