Why My Various Fruit Shrubs Have Never Flowered

Question

I bought gooseberry, raspberry and red currant fruit shrubs but they have never flowered or produced fruit in five years, but very sturdy plants

Answer 1

If all are experiencing the same symptoms, then it is likely a soil nutrient issue.

Soil that contains too much nitrogen, and not enough phosphorus and potassium or that has a pH imbalance, can cause flowering and fruiting issues.

If there are no other symptoms, then these parameters are likely imbalanced. These articles will help you to test for deficiencies and pH imbalances:
