Default Starting fruit bushes/trees

Hi, I just posted in the wanted section looking for fruit bushes & trees http://www.jumbletown.ie/forums/showthread.php?t=123527
I do this because at the moment in LIDL they're selling blackcurrant bushes and I was told winter is the time to plant, just wondering could I just go out and take some cuttings from fruit bushes and start them off or woulod they already have to be rooted?
Thanks - Dave

Default Fruit Bushes

Blackcurrant bushes are easy to propogate. The branches tend to take root when they are laden with fruit and brushing the ground. If you were closer to North Tipp I would offer you some. My sister bought the ones from Lidl 2 years ago & they all failed. Not sure if the variety was suited to the Irish climate. I would recommend getting root stock from someone who has them. Also a good time for planting on strawberry runners.
