About a month ago, I started to rave (on this site as well!) about the appearance of my first red and black currants. Well, pride before a fall, because since picking the first fruit (about 50 berries), there hasnt been a glimmer of any more. They appeared at the very bottom of the bush. Since then, we've had plenty of rain (not much warmth - but enough), and the bushes (one of each for red and black) look healthy enough. Any thoughts?
many thanks for all the comments
The blossom comes first & that forms in the Spring so that's it for this year. You'll get more next year. Ours are 4 years old this year & we picked, sorry, OH picked 18lbs of fruit from blackcurrants. Redcurrants tomorrow.
Many thanks grannyjanny....mystery solved
Planted up a fruit cage back end of last year. White currants by the squillion but very few blacks and reds. Let's see next year. Cheers, Tony.
