SF Bay Area: Flowering currants for fruiting currants

Is this thread finished? If yes, click here to mark it as solved.

My landscaper disobeyed my explicit desires and obtained flowering currants instead of fruiting ones. It's pretty hopeless for me to try to work with him to change them out. Is there anyone who wants flowering currants who would give me fruiting currants or gooseberries in exchange? There are other "stealth" fruits I'd accept as well. Basically, I'm trying to do as much edible landscaping as possible but I'm using lesser-known fruits in my front yard to avoid theft and trespassing.

What I have are Ribes indecorum http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/155498/index.html

Ribes sanguineum 'White Icicle' http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/81553/index.html

Ribes sanguineum 'Claremont' http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/115231

Ribes aureum Golden Currant http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/81529/index.html

I'm especially interested in the gooseberry "Hinnomaki Red" and prefer white and red currants to black.

By the way, since I'm talking about uprooting the entire plant, you'd need to be able to make it to Berkeley to make the trade.

I have red currants, I'm not interested in your flowering currants, but I could send you some cuttings and/or some volunteers if you'd like.

Gosh, that's nice! Yes, I'd be interested. I'm not supposed to send live plants or produce out of my area right now, but I have some seeds I'm not using and could send you some seeds if I have any you'd like. I've got some Echinacea tennessensis, for example.

I would love some! I should be able to get out in the yard on Sunday and get some dug up....I hope!
