    Hi all

    Should I prune 1-year old fruit bushes? I planted blueberries, blackcurrants and gooseberries last year.

    Also, is it a good time of year to take cuttings from them? If so, how should I go about it?

    Thanks very much indeed,
    TC (aka Alexei)

    Personally TC, I would let them grow on for another year, and then give them a trim next year, using the trimmings for your cuttings.
