Hello, in my garden we have;
- Bluberries
- Balck currants
- Raspeberries
- Gooseberries
Just wondering if anyone knows when it is best to cut the bush down if it all. It has stopped fruiting now and is just growing a bit wild. Just wondering what to do with it now.

You can Google to get plenty of information. But autumn raspberries are cut back after fruiting at the end of the year. Summer raspberries, you only remove fruited canes at the end of summer. Blackcurrants need pruning, in winter I think.
