I planted a red currant this spring and it has about 8 stems. Do I
prune it this year or ever? It is
in a container.


Another question is what to do with the vast crop of red currants that
we have this year.


1. Make jelly (1 lb. sugar to 1 pint juice).

2. Make a crumble.

3. Make wine (4-6 lbs. to each gallon)

4. Freeze them until you can think of something else.
