moving blackcurrants

I started with a plot in spring this year - planted one blackcurrant bush then decided I wanted more and put in another in a different bed. Of course that proved to be a pain having to net 2 different areas.
Question - when / how can I move a black currant bush and what space to leave between them. May also add another couple of bushes if I have space.

Since the bush has not been in long I would think you can move it without too much hassle. Wait until it has lost its leaves, cut it well back and then dig it up with a good ball or soil.

Blackcurrants are very easy to root from cuttings, or just leave a branch lying on the soil and it will probably root and then you can cut it from the parent and plant it up.

Four bushes are going to give you an awful lot of currants when they are established. Can you cope?

Cheers,

Gillie

thanks for the help and hints Gillie - and the warning, perhaps I'll see how these 2 develop first!
