I got stabbed to death picking the things
I will check carefully. :-)

mogga,
I asked in this group maybe 3yrs ago.

I was given advice to wait until all the leaves had fallen and to
prune middle branches to the root to allow air through to prevent
mildew. Then dig them up amd replant them in a large diameter hole
with plenty of compost and a little blood, fish and bone.

I did it and had some very nice fruit the following season.

I think I did it late October.

Keep pruning every year to keep the middle of the plant open.

To avoid getting stabbed, what I do is to grasp the end of a fruiting
branch (wearing nice thick gloves) and lift it up. You will then see
lots of goosegogs dangling below so pick them off being careful not to
jab your wrist on the thorns. I know how annoying that is!

Well, that is my experience on the subject.(there is no substitute for
personal experience). The advice I was given proved to be soud.

Good luck
Baz


The advice I was given proved to be sound. Not soud.
