Default Black Currant Pruning.

The message
from "mark" contains these words:

I have some black currant bushes which have an 'established' look.
I want to prune them and have been told to cut back on the old growth.
Trouble is, having just looked at them, I can't see any difference between
the branches to able to tell new from old.


Cut out a third of the bush every year and you won't go far wrong -
assuming you cut out a different third each time!
