In fact, gooseberryseeds are planted only when new varieties are sought, asdescribed for currants. There is always the possibility thatthe bulk of the seedlings raised from the gooseberry will bemuch inferior to the parent. The seedlings will begin to fruitwhen they are from 3 to 4 years old. Gooseberries are usually propagated commercially by layer-ing, mound layering, as outlined for currants, being the mostcommon method of propagation. In England, gooseberries aresometimes propagated by cuttings, but this is not so successfulin America. In a small way, gooseberries may be propagatedby taking rooted canes from old plants and transplanting them. A desirable 2-year-old gooseberry nursery plant is shown inFig. 27 (a); a 1-year-old plant is shown in Fig. 27 (6). Notethe more abundant root growth on the
