How tall will my fruit bushes grow?
in Fruit & veg
Three years ago I planted blackcurrant, white currant and gooseberry, which I bought from a reputable grower. They are only knee high. I remember picking a disabled neighbour's currants for her when I was a child, maybe four feet tall, and the bushes were taller than me. Can I expect mine to get much bigger? Might it be that I don't feed and/or water them enough? I've never had more than a handful of fruit off them.

Thanks, this is very helpful. I really need to learn a lot about pruning, and write myself a year-round schedule for what to prune when.
