ive inherited a big old redcurrant bush on my new plot. ive picked all the fruit now. i was wondering if i could prune it now? im asking because i can clearly see what is dead wood at the moment. also does it fruit on new growth or year old growth?

Hope this helps How to Grow and Prune Redcurrant and Whitecurrant Bushes -
I've been looking this up because I've got a redcurrent which is only two years old but has fruited nicely this year. I'm actually waiting til later in the year because I want to take some cuttings...so I wont cut back til the autumn but when I do I shall be quite careful and not take it right back....probably do what i do with blackcurrants which is clear the middle. If your one is a older i believe the right thing to do is cut all the old stuff right back.
But thats just me ....a fruit expert may be along soon...............
oops while i was writing this a fruit expert did come along!!!!Comment
