Blackcurrant pruning
I didn't get round to pruning it in autumn, can you prune them in spring.

Re: Blackcurrant pruning
Do it now! They should be pruned during the dormant season i.e. Nov thru about Jan and I expect Feb is OK too.

I do mine after fruiting, and plant the cuttings to make new bushes!

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.
