Late June, early July. Cuttings stuck in the ground in November. Bushes are almost covered with fruit. Up to 10 pounds per bush. Requires annual pruning of old canes.
Fruit is born on new wood.
Renew black currants to new shoots. Some growers cut new plants to the ground to allow many new shoots to start or plant the bush deeper so main shoots start at ground level. Prune red and white currants like gooseberries. Prune annually to maintain large berry size. Cut out wood more than 3 years old.
