gooseberry

[onion man]

hi all
what is the best way to grow gooseberry plants from seeds or cuttings ??

[binley100]

Are far as I am aware the best way is to layer them......bend down a branch and peg it into the soil .

Cuttings as seeds may not come true and would take ages to get to fruiting bushes.

Cuttings every time - or check round an established bush for tip rooted stems.

When I prune in the autumn I stick loads of cuttings in the ground and most of them seem to root - takes a few years to get big enough to fruit though- although probaby less time than seeds to fruit.
