Moving Soft Fruit
 

I want to move and replant some Gooseberry bushes. When is the best time of
year to do this ?

A neighbour is of the opinion that they should not be moved whilst they are
in full leaf ?......but then he's wrong about most things !.....so I
thought I'd check.

Does it matter ?
Would appreciate any advice.
Thank you.

It is usually better to move plants in the dormant season, i.e. lare
autumn to early spring

Yes Franz is right, never when in full leaf unless you have no choice but to
try
