Is it too late to prune red currents?

[Richard Eldritch]

They've broken their winter dormancy...

I don't prune them at all yet (mine are only 3-4 years old, and not too big yet)

i cut mine back after they have fruited. I put some of the cuttings into pots and most have struck - 6 of them went into the ground today - rest are waiting to get a little bigger.
I would leave yours as it is for now but try cutting some back for new bushes later in the year.

I'd leave them now unless you have any dead wood and then if you need to do any shaping (to get a nice shape etc) do it next autumn / winter time. To be honest it probably wouldn't kill it now but it would be likely to reduce the yield this year.

Thank you everyone,I'll leave them this year......
