Cerrertonia Mar 2022 7:25pm, 23 Mar 2022 16,044 posts	Quote Pin Cerrertonia I hastily took a bunch of cuttings of soft fruit bushes a couple of days before we moved out of the old house in mid-February. Nothing more complicated than taking the secateurs, cutting off a few pieces of each of the blackcurrant, whitecurrant, redcurrant, gooseberry and jostaberry bushes and shoving the twigs into soil in pots. Went outside to soak up some rays in the hope it would help my snivelly Covid infestation, and was pleased to see that all of the cuttings have buds and in some cases leaves.

A client bought thousands of pounds worth and we had quite a few failures. I don't remember what result she got from complaining... I use Trevor White. Much better and bigger plants and £10 a rose cheaper!!! And never had any fail...

Good news about the cuttings, Cerrertonia All the odds and ends of shrubs and trees I bought last autumn seem to be doing well in their pots with the possible exception of one fuchsia. I now need to think about permanent positions for them.
