Moving red and blackcurrant bushes.
« on: July 18, 2010, 07:50 »
Hi there

I need to move my red and blackcurrants bushes as they are too close to the house.  Does anyone know when it's the best time to do this?

Thanks.

Leave them until later in the year, as in late autumn or winter.
They will be dorment and the ground will be wetter (hopefully).

I moved 2 goosberry's and lost one.
Think it was combination of time and as I said being a bit on the dry side.
Too much for the plant to take.

I moved a black currant when it was dormant but I didn't realize it was a bit too dry, and when replanted it never recovered  :(

So definitely wait until true dormancy, when all the leaves are off and the weather is quite cool, be sure they have a good drink or wait until after a good rain, dig them up with lots of soil still intact on the root area (yes, this part really matters) and immediately move to a ready hole. Once it's settled, do your pruning and you should have healthy plants next season.

Take some hardwood cutings before you move them, just in case.
