whether that's standard winter pruning so they'll sprout again next spring.

so your currant bushes are currently clipped?

sef_lopod: it's mostly, "clear the space that they grow out into". They do continue to grow without the pruning, but tending toward "just everywhere". The black currants probably benefit from it in terms of being able to produce, but neither are in a great location for production or picking.

Arbieroo: Something like that, yeah.
