Re: Blackcurrant-no fruit- when to prune?

Blackcurrant-no fruit- when to prune?
Last year someone else pruned my currants. This year there were no flowers or fruit- just some leaf curl. Should I wait to prune- or prune now?
And by how much? ( I am a bit of a novice )
thanks

There are plenty more -so thought I'd try freezing some first. So far I haven't found the definative answer as to when to pick (apart from 'after the f...
