Hi again, On 13/03/2011 I wrote the following: " I bought a blackcurrant bush from a garden centre last November. It was in a pot, and before I planted it, I pruned the three branches to about two inches above ground. The three cuttings were about eight inches long, so I cut them in half, and just for curiosity I planted the six cuttings with a bit of bonemeal. The bush I bought is now doing quite well, and I noticed that out of the six cuttings, two had tiny buds showing. These two are now showing foliage. I don't want to disturb them, but does this mean that they have rooted. "
I received a couple of answers saying that they had probably rooted. Although the bush I bought is doing well, the two cuttings appear to be dying. They are planted close to the bought one, so the soil is the same. Has anyone any idea what could have gone wrong. I gave them a little watering, but not too much as the ground was pretty damp to begin with.
