Moving a blackcurrant bush from the ground into a pot?Can blackcurrant bushes be grown sucessfully in pots?
My roughly 4'x4' blackcurrant bush has to be moved. I misjudged spacings between it and other plants and it has drawn the short straw.
Any tips or experiences? What sized pot?

I successfully moved blackcurrant plants from the UK to France and kept them in pots until the fruit area was ready. They were 3-4' tall.

Take your harvest first.
Then I'd clip back the branches (to balance root ball with leafy top) and keep really well watered as all the microscopic root hairs will have been broken....
Should work.
