Want a redcurrant stem(s)?
I'll have to prune mine this Autumn.
Trouble-free bush. Stems easily tied in to make it essentially just 2-D.
No thorns. Fruit easily picked, typically ripe as last UK competitor loses at Wimbledon.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll regretfully decline - Im not sure we have the space just now - I'm just planting things I can move easily
Case in point - knocked up a couple of planters from scrap cladding this afternoon, and chucked in some herbs. Next year, when we do the garden properly, I'll move them into a bigger bed.

Raised beds are going in next spring, against the south facing fence. Mostly established herbs (bay, mint, oregano, chives, rosemary, thyme) anda bunch of bamboo poles to support tomatoes, chillis and jalapeños.
There's not enough space to make growing anything else worthwhile - although I may try a few squash.
