From Ground: First, water the canyon gooseberry to dampen the soil. Dig a generous circumference around the plant with a shovel or spade to avoid harming the root ball. Once you have created space, use the garden fork to loosen the soil beneath and gradually lift the plant.
From Pot: Water the canyon gooseberry thoroughly. Turn the pot sideways and tap it to loosen the plant. Hold the base of the plant's stem, and gently pull the plant while easing it out of the pot with your other hand.
From Seedling Tray: Moisten the soil in the tray to make removal easier. Use a spoon or a similar tool to lift the plant gently by prodding the soil underneath, taking care not to damage the young roots.
