Gooseberry Cuttings November is the time for planting fruit trees

and bushes, a good time to prune goose- berries and red-currants as well as the season for setting cuttings of both these berry bushes. Use shoots of current season's growth for cuttings, remove all buds except those at the tip, three or four in number. Plant firmly in about six to nine inches of soil and leave the cuttings twO seasons before moving them to a permanent site.
