Tayberries and currants - how to get the best

[newspud9]

I inherited a good cropping tayberry but not sure if it needs pruning.  The longer canes are about 5' long - the flowers are just showing but there's also a lot of green shoots. Given general advice about getting plants to put their efforts into the crop rather than just getting long, would you say I should prune and if so,  by how much?

I planted a small red currant bush in March, and the first fruits (green) have just appeared on the lower shoots.  First time Ive had a go at currants - and other than regular watering and netting, grateful for any hints as to how to get a good crop.

Thanks to all for all suggestions.

Do not prune your tayberry at this time.
You only prune out the old fruiting growth when you have picked all the fruit!!
Keep the new growth as will fruit next year.

You need to do very little at this time for your redcurrants, except for getting them netted against the birds. See the same site for more information on caring for redcurrants.
