I've got a couple of young fruit bushes - a gooseberry and a blackcurrant. They're about 2 years old now, and I want to move them to a more suitable spot, Is it best to do this in autumn or spring?

    I think it doesn't matter as long as the bushes are dormant. I would move them in Autumn while the soil is still relatively warm.

    Best to move them from November to March when they're dormant.image

    Thanks for your advice. I'll prepare the ground where I want them to go in the meantime.
