gooseberry prunings

Apparently gooseberries are difficult to root from cuttings but you might as well try some. You should only use the new wood. Use 6inch cuttings and use a hormone rooting powder. Use a cold frame if you've got one.

both maccrimmon. they are better done as cuttings late summer but you have nothing to loose. is yours a very thorny one? if yes wear gloves when you shred it and be carefull as some thorns come throgh unaltered. i know from first very sore hand experience. i had forgotten which bag they were in and 6 months down the line when i was using them as mulch i found out. ouch :o(
