transplant currants as soon as ground is soft enough. supposed to prune the last 3 inches when canes are 30 inches tall in February.

Fall Gold: Prune out all weak, diseased, and damaged canes at ground level. Leave the largest, most vigorous canes. Cut back the tips of the canes that remain. Remove approximately the upper one-third of the canes. This option provides two crops during the year. The second option is to prune all canes back to the ground in late winter/early spring. This pruning option produces a single crop in late summer or early fall. - Iowa State University

Black currant: Prune around 35% of the dormant bush each Winter, removing thick, dark stems, which are three-year-old growth. Cut very low down, at roughly a 45-degree angle, to prevent water rot. Prune away all damaged branches, those growing laterally, and stragglers. - redemptionpermaculture.com
