Redcurrants and whitecurrants

debih · « **on:** August 20, 2008, 19:21 »

I have been up to investigate my allotment abit more today and have stumbled across a huge redcurrant bush and a little, rather scabby looking whitecurrant bush.

The redcurrants have nearly all dropped off and the white currants done really have very much on. Do I need to prune them back at all? Any other tips of what I should be doing with them.

Thanks.

Check this thread out (click on it). Treat white currants the same as red. I often combine red and whites if I don't have enough reds for a recipe; though smaller, the whites are sweeter.
