I pluck the whole stems off currants. I've never tried to harvest more than
two bushes at a time, but that seems like a lot of time for the amount of
berries. Did you get lots of stems with only one or two berries? I've picked
about a gallon of fruit off two bushes, and while I didn't keep track of how
long it took, it didn't seem like it was a really long time.
