You will need to prune back to compensate and water plentifully |

gooseberry
The message
from "s.hickey" contains these words: I want to move some mature gooseberry bushes and was wondering when is the best time of year to do so After the leaves have dropped. Try and take the rootball with its attendant soil. You might also take some old wood cuttings and strike them, just in case. -- Rusty horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Have never had one fail~~ Not even when making a row of sixty, in situ, to make cordons. Remove all lower buds to well above soil level~ leave just four buds at the top. This might do so well that the old plant can be discarded after a couple of years. Best Wishes Brian. |
