I bought a blackcurrant bush from a garden centre last November. It
was in a pot, and before I planted it, I pruned the three branches to
about two inches above ground. The three cuttings were about eight
inches long, so I cut them in half, and just for curiosity I planted
the six cuttings with a bit of bonemeal. The bush I bought is now
doing quite well, and I noticed that out of the six cuttings, two had
tiny buds showing. These two are now showing foliage. I don't want to
disturb them, but does this mean that they have rooted.


yes
