New black currant bushes prune or not
« on: March 26, 2008, 13:06 »
I have 2 black currants.  One is Wellington XXX from Rougham Nurseries and quite big 3 stems but 40 cm or more high.

The other one is X from poundland much smaller.

I guess the first is 2-3 years old and the other a new one.
They are both in pots with lots of manure and were planted on Monday.

Should I prune them to the ground or not ?

Personally, I'd leave them all be for this year. The nursery plant was probably already pruned, the others sound too small to stress them yet. Next season is the time for pruning.

I'm glad to hear that coz I didn't prune mine, just put them in as they were. Lots of new growth on them, so they seem ok  :)
