Blackcurrant bush won't flower

[Philip Barnes]

This is my first post so apologies if this has been covered recently.
My Blackcurrant (Titania) is very healthy and is now about chest height. We planted it about 18months ago so we were expected our 2nd flowering by now, but nothing at all.
We have never pruned it and it sits against a south facing well protected wall. What are we doing wrong????

Where are you located?

Maybe you're being too kind to it: many plants will grow and not fruit if they are fed too much nitrogen.

Maybe it's a variety which takes a while to start cropping.

Maybe you had bad weather at spring time. Currant flowers are often funny little greenish things which are easily to not notice.

How big was it when it was planted?

Good questions!

I live in Macclesfield and the spring has been the best weather we have had all year.
I haven't fed it at all and it was about knee high when we bougt it.
The label says it is a new robust variety (Tatiana) and it is now in its second spring and summer.

My blackcurrants are having a very poor year indeed this year. The early warmth fooled them into budding too soon, and then the hard frosts we had overnight damaged them. They now have very little fruit, and the new leaves they managed to produce are being hit badly by aphids. You aren't so very far from me, so perhaps a late frost damaged the flowers on yours?
