Hi everyone, im just clearing an overgrown part of my allotment and under the many bramble bushes etc ive found 3 blackcurrent (i think!! maybe redcurrent) bushes.......they are in a healthy state but VERY leggy as they have probably been searching for the light for a few years now and so are maybe 5 or 6 foot long. What i want to know is should i trim them down to a reasonable height, say 3 to 4 feet or should i cut them down to ground level to start again as to grow stronger and thicker stems as at the moment they are rather thin and straggly.
There are lots of straggly branches to each bush, maybe a dozen or more on each one, but as i say they are very long and straggly.
Any help would be very welcome indeed.
Bye for now,
Mark.
