Blackcurrent help needed!

Hi,

I planted a blackcurrent tree/bush back in the summer in a pretty sunny part of the garden and it doesn't want to get started, no new leaf or bud growth! I planted it with the root ball a hands width below the soil and gave it a good chop to encourage it to 'bush out'.
:cnfs: Bemused!?!:cnfs: Any suggestions?

 

Summer was a bit late to be planting and I don't think you did it any favours by giving it a cut so late in the growing season.
Blackcurrants are normally very easy to grow. If you take a cutting and shove it in the ground there's a very good chance of it rooting.
In your case I'd leave it until next spring and see if it puts out any new buds before you give up on it.
