Yours are in containers, and it's good to know that container-grown Post Office Spoonful can stay a reasonable size. You're giving us data on how this variety performs in containers, and that's valuable.

It's possible this variety doesn't like to be pruned. Mine has made all kinds of branches, but I never prune or de-sucker anything, so I can't tell you.

Anyone else out there try to prune a Post Office Spoonful plant? Or any currant? How's that working for you?

Congratulations on setting fruit!

Nan

I definitely will not prune or de-sucker the other two. I think I'll put one in another container to compare it to the one I pruned, and put the other one in the front and let it go wild. I will keep you updated on the one that I pruned.
