I have two redcurrant and two blackcurrant bushes full of ripe fruit for the first time this year - hurrah!
I seem to recall that you prune the old branches out the bushes (which have all the berries on them) and then strip the berries into a bucket - brill - two jobs done in one.
BUT then I remembered that you prune black & red currants differently - and I can't remember how it should be done. A search (and a google, and a look on youtube for a video) has all served to confuse me further as advice seems to conflict!
What should I be doing??

I'm hoping to plant them up in the autumn and try a bit of experimentation with the whites and reds.
