[QUOTE="yoki, post: 9109363, member: 2923"] Moisture during the first couple of summers is the key. If they're going in places where it's not going to be practical to water them in a dry spell, then make a wee nurse bed somewhere to propagate them in and that you can give them water until they develop enough of a root system of their own to be able to cope with a bit of drought. Also bear in mind that it's a painstakingly slow way to reproduce something as opposed to grafting where possible. Against that, it can be quite satisfying. I had flowering currant in several hedges which never got the chance to stretch it's legs thanks to the hedge-trimmer so I propagated a few cuttings and transplanted them out to the woodland where I now have several standalone flowering currant bushes growing unhindered. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
