Not a great time of year for doing this, but just the way it works out...
In the middle of my new veg/fruit garden (which has been an overgrown veg/fruit garden for quite some time) are a number of plants like this: http://photos.fidell.co.uk/Pittisford/2004032303.jpg It's in bud at the moment and one or two leaves are just starting to open. They look like they might be similar to raspberry leaves, but until they unfurl I can't be sure. Most of the stems are a burgundy red colour, with some of the older (possibly dead) wood turning pale brown. There's nothing in the vicinity of the plot that looks similar, so I assume these were deliberately planted at some point in the past rather than self-seeding and are therefore likely to be some sort of fruit-bearing bush. The area is full of nettles, docks, thistles, brambles and all sorts of other unpleasantness that I'm slowly digging out (and it's very hard work :), so if these plants aren't going to be useful to me I'll dig them up to make sure I get anything lurking around them. If they do produce fruit though, I'll do the best I can this year and transplant them at the end of the year, or take cuttings to plant out next year if that is possible. Anyone have any suggestions as to what they might be, or do I need to wait a bit longer until they get into leaf properly? James |

Careful pruning of dogwood is quite important. This site is a good guide. http://www.gardenseeker.com/pruning/...g%20Cornus.htm Regards, Emrys Davies. "James Fidell" wrote in message .. .
