Hi All,
Last year i put all of my blackcurrant bush cuttings into a large barrel of water,- only to see everyone of them take root.
In this years spring i planted a long line of them to see them all thrive.
My question is this,- What do i do next with all these single stem plants?

Regards,
Mark.

according to hessayon, dig them up and replant in their growing position in october and then cut the canes back to 1-2inches.
I had the same experience - used blackcurrant prunings as canes for some broccoli last year and they all rooted.
