It is not certain they have viruses. In my original post I said they 'may' be old plants.
Your wish to plant a reminder of your neighbour is quite understandable. Just plonk the currant in the ground and it will grow. They are bushes with a strong will to thrive.
Hello all, I have decided to try one of Jims Blackcurrants and some Raspberries as well so to avoid disappointment I have also taken Welshonions advice as well and ordered two Blackcurrants and a Gooseberry from Blackmoor nurseries. I have bought some Fish/Blood and Bone also some rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi.By the end of next week I should have my little roof garden up and running.So thanks to all who replied to my post especially Bekkie you made me smile and smiles are priceless.
