From Ground: First, water the american black currant a day before to dampen the soil and minimize stress. Dig a trench around the american black currant using a shovel or spade, keeping enough distance to avoid damaging the root system. Gently work under the root ball and lift the american black currant with care to preserve as many roots as possible.
From Pot: Water the american black currant and gently tap the sides of the pot to loosen the soil. Support the american black currant by the base, and carefully tilt the pot to slide the plant out while keeping the soil and roots intact.
From Seedling Tray: Moisten the soil before removing the american black currant seedlings. Use a spoon or a small tool to lift the seedlings gently by their leaves, not their stems, so as not to damage the developing root system.
