The mistake of gardeners is to cut shoots that belong to the productive category. Similarly, this applies to the shoots that should bear fruit this year. It should be remembered that blackcurrant branches can bear berries for up to 6 years. White and red currants are even 8 years old.

Careful selection of branches and shoots to be removed. If these are the lowest and lie almost on the ground, they need to be cut. Even if they are not old at the moment. They will not bear fruit.

You also need to remove branches that grow deep into the bush. Branches that intersect with other branches will not bear berries. All such specimens must be cut. The rest of the branches should not be touched, so as not to lose the harvest.
