I worked for a berry nursery that made currant and gooseberry cuttings in the fall, bundled them, and buried them with just 1/3 of the cutting sticking out, in sand on the north side of a building. By planting time the following spring they were solidly rooted and ready to line out in the nursery. This was in zone 7, so the ground did not freeze deeply.
Some gooseberry varieties will give the highest degree of success from cuttings when the cuttings are taken in the fall before all the leaves are off.

I've read somewhere that currant cutting can be planted here in the
fall and so...

I am looking for cuttings of red, white and especially black currants.

I'll cover shipping and a fee for the cuttings or can trade persimmon
seeds or grape cuttings of the few varieties I have.
