Title: Fruit plants
Post by: piglit on February 05, 2011, 21:09:23
Sorry, more questions!

I have been bargain hunting and have some £1 redcurrant and blueberry bushes from poundland and some cheap LIDL fruit bushes including blackberries and blackcurrants.  I don't have the area that I want to plant them ready yet.  Should I plant them in a border and leave them there till the autumn/winter and then move them or would I be better to put them in pots and put them in their final homes over the summer when they are growing?
The bushes are quite small with about 4-6" of stem at the moment so I don't think they are very old. 

Thanks for any advice,

piglit

If you have spare pots...you could pot them up and then plant it when you have ground sorted for them...it is less damaging for the root than digging them up again.
Potted plants you can plant any time of the year..so you are not in hurry ;)

Thanks for the advice! All plants are now in pots while I deliberate about the best permanent home for them.
