Caring for red and black currant is slightly different. Red currant bushes are recommended to trim only during rest, after fruiting. Most of the berries ripens on old branches whose age is 2-3 years. That is why after collecting berries and removal of foliage, cut all young shoots to large kidneys.

The crop on the bushes of black currant is molded not only on old, but also in new branches. That is why trimming is done otherwise than the processing of red currant. Remember, small berries are formed in thick branches for more than 3 years, so it is recommended to leave only young shoots of 1-2 years. It is recommended to remove 1/3 of all branches, and during the first processing and molding the crown, leave only 10 of the strongest shoots. Trimming in the fall or in spring before the kidney form.

Remember, the fruit branches of black currant die on 3 years of life, so be sure to remove thick shoots. It is impossible to grow bushes in the form of a skeleton, with a thick barrel and running away from it.

If you are not deeply cutting off the branches, then notice that the bush acquires a skeletal shape. In this case, carefully treat the plant, leaving the branches growing from the ground.
