  • Moving house. Will fruit bushes move ok?

    Hi everyone. I will be moving house in a couple of months and have a few fruit bushes that I planted early last year that I would like to take with me.

    I want to lift the following but was wondering if they will survive being put into pots for the move.

    2 blueberry bushes
    2 blackcurrant bushes
    1 redcurrant bush

    If they are not likely to survive this I think I would rather leave them.

    Cheers

    Alan

    Providing you lift them with a good size rootball they should move perfectly well....you may lose some of this years fruit but the plants should be fine.
    If I were you I would pot them up now and keep them well watered...before they really start putting their energy into fruiting.
    Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
    Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result

        Funnily enough I was reading a really old article from a local newspaper this morning on a similar subject:

        Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.


        What would Vedder do?

          We moved fruit bushes from our old allotment and from my Dad's garden when we moved (and he moved). You do need to pamper them a bit but you should get away with it.
          Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

              you have nothing to louse by trying i did it with loganberry Id try putting them in a strong bin bag with plenty of soil or if you have some larg tubs try putting them in that
              but get them back in the ground asap,
              Some things in their natural state have the most VIVID colors
