Just seen the other thread about lavender cuttings and wondered how you would go about taking a cutting from a flowering currant, please?

you could layer in a pot. ruddy things justgrow, though as you actually want one, it might not oblige and only grow where Ido not want it..

I accidently layered flowering current by getting a bit of soil on top of one of the branches.

I have done this, and have three healthy currant bushes now.

I took my cuttings, healthy good cuttings, maybe 40 cm long, and put in a bucket of water. When the twigs/branches grew roots, and I saw they looked good and healthy, I planted them. I dug decent sized holes, and planted with "grow bag" soil. Ideally let there be two meters between them.

Thank you, there is one growing near our house on a verge, and I would love to take a cutting, but wasn't at all sure how to go about it!
