Dale,
As someone else noted, 'Crandall' is a different species than European black currants (R. nigrum).  In our experience, 'Crandall' roots much less easily than all the nigrums I have tried.  Re: sticking dormant cuttings in the fall, almost all our nigrums root, but very few of the 'Crandalls' ever have.  I generally propagate 'Crandall' by dividing plants or seedlings, as even two year old, running suckers can be poorly rooted.  I'd contact someone selling Crandall plants in our area, such as Hidden Springs or Edible Landscaping and see if they have any hints.
