Hal,
Sounds to me as though your Clove Currant might need either boron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium or any combination of these. Your Crandall might need any of these too.

Bill,

'Crandall' here loses leaves when it gets hot and humid, so I suspect foliar diseases. I doubt it is just heat stress, as 'Crandall' originated in a hotter climate than here. There is a clump of clove currants out by my pond that were here we bought the place. They stop blooming just before 'Crandall' gets started, so little if any cross-pollination occurs. The early blooming clove currant has hundreds of flowers, but sets only 2-3 small fruits.

I have never pruned them. These are all planted over the past 2-3 years, and none have gotten very large yet.

Hal
