I was delighted by the amount of redcurrants I have this year, alas on looking today they have almost all dropped.  Does anyone have any hints for next year?

Welcome to the site  but sorry to hear about your redcurrants 

Have they just fallen off, or have they been 'pruned' by the birds ... ?

[DD.]

Those darn birds will strip a redcurrant bush in seconds!

I get a fair few drop from my blackcurrants but seen as they were dripping its not made much difference. I just assumed it was the june drop.  does that happen with currants

[Trillium]

No, currants normally don't do that. Sounds like something is pulling off unripe currants then changing their mind.

Oh well now i'm miffed lol at least i know its not normal.

Well seems I have covered them up too late, the blackcurrents have not been pinched by anyone or anything!!! Better get them covered just in case Thanks for the advice

I wonder if they've swelled suddenly with all the rain and dropped off

[Trillium]

Even when they're swollen with rain, they'll still hang onto the stems and simply dry out eventually. The problem is often something that nibbles the stems and I'm still trying to figure out what does that. I lost a lot at the blossom stage to whatever is nibbling, and now some berries
