Redcurrant dropping berries?

General Fruit Growing
#1

Hey all.

My redcurrants are in their second year. All have formed green berries, but I’ve noticed lately that a lot have dropped off. I’m assuming that is normal because the plant is young and is trying to only keep the berries it feels strong enough to ripen, and that in subsequent years there should be less dropping of berries.

Anyone have any experience with this?

many young berry plants will do this. you should get alot more next season. by 3rd leaf currants start to put out a decent crop but dont hit peak till about 5.
