How to prune red currants
Get a pair of good-quality pruning loppers and secateurs.
You'll be using the loppers for thicker stems, and the secateurs for thinner. Both tools need to be sharp so that they leave behind a nice, clean cut.

-- Have them come to the right sharpness before pruning because you don't want to cut them down. A small pair of cutters is also a great option, although it's a good idea to buy a pair at any hardware store if you're on a budget.;
-- You can find pruning loppers at your local gardening store or online. Make sure that the loppers don't have sharp blades, or else the touch you'll get is not good.;
-- If they tear through the stems, the wound won't heal as quickly or as neatly. You can use these methods to prune white currants and gooseberries as well.;
-- Sharp pruners use one tool per loop to cut back an entire branch, while thinner pruners can pull back branches in sparse clusters and shrivel them up. There are a wide range of pruning styles available, and you can choose your current variety to replicate.;
