How to care for currants in autumn
First, you need to exclude fertilizers with nitrogen. They prevent the branches from becoming woody and reduce the plant's frost resistance.
The application of organic and mineral fertilizers with nitrogen stops in mid-August.
Secondly, do not rush with pruning, wait until late autumn. If you prune the bush before the sap stops flowing, you will only harm it.
Thirdly, you cannot cut off the tips of the branches of the annual growth. There are many buds on the tips of the branches, on which there will be many berries. Cut off branches aged 3 years and older.
