As far as your redcurrant bushes go, if they have finished fruiting
they can be pruned now. Winter pruning is generally recommended. The
productive life of a currant bush is around 10-5yrs.
^^^^^^^^

did you mean 10-15years?

I've always read this sort of figure in many books. But my 18 year old
Goosegogs, Red & Black currants show no sign of flagging and produce as
much as they did when they were 5 years old.
