help with blackcurrant

[kerryp]

Hi,
This is my little blackcurrant bush as it stands so far (its in home made pots so we can take it when we move)... how would i prune it to show it some love? Ive NEVER pruned it really & its 3yrs old now i think & feeling a bit sorry for itself!

Any help would be appreciated (sorry i dont know how to turn it round & my computer seems to not want to!)

Thanks

no probs with turning pic around. I just turned my head .


The theory with black currants is that with an established bush, you cut out approximately a third of the old growth every year. Your bush isn't desperately overgrown. If it was mine, I'd cut out a few old branches to try to keep the centre of the bush fairly open and tidy up the others.
