Are the leaves disappearing on your currant or gooseberry bush in early summer? Most likely the currant sawfly larvae are at work. The British have a simple prevention that works surprisingly well. Spread a thin layer of wood ashes around the base of the shrub. Some local gardeners use straw and claim it works better yet.

The bushes arrived in British Columbia promptly and healthy. This was my second year ordering from Whiffletree and I've been very happy with all plants ordered, and with their customer service.
