Kitchen Garden magazine, there was an offer on page 25 of the Jan. issue from Pomona Fruits. They are on http://www.pomonafruits.co.uk the offer code is KG1NFP for 15% off in case anyone else is interested, they do other fruit as well but the p&p is pretty hefty at £6.95 regardless of quantity although T&M were slightly more than that, I checked!

I'm cracking up again, they are also on DT Brown.

Received my two pinkcurrant bishes today so have temporarily put them in pots. They both have two strong stems each and good root systems , so I am tempted to prune to one and treat the prunings as cuttings to see if I can increase my stock from the start!

I would not let any bits escape I am sure they will all soon root.  I think though I would be tempted to put the cuttings somewhere warm at the moment or perhaps leave it a few weeks before removing them from the mother plant. 

I have some shoots out of the base of some of mine which I am going to prune off , but decided to leave it a while and then put them to root.
