Gooseberry Propagation
The Gooseberry (ribes grossularia) is not a difficult plant to proagate. It is a hardy deciduous shrub that will grow to about three foot tall and produces a delicious fruit in great quantities.
To
propagate new bushes from an existing gooseberry bush, take cuttings of healthy
shoots in autumn. Choose a section about a foot long and cut with a sharp
knife. Remove all but the top four buds from your cutting. Push the bottom
six inches of your cutting into well prepared soil and water well
Now all you have to do is wait. The cuttings should be ready for planting
out in one or possibly two years.
When they are big enough plant them directly into free draining well-dug and composted soil or a large container (at least 14 inches across at the base and place in sunny or partially shaded position.
Eventually you could be getting upwards of 10Lb of per plant
