stevie1957 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thank you to eveyone for your relpies. Most seem to agree they are Berberis Darwinii. Me and the grand kids (the grand kids and I) will be picking these this weekend. Big thank you to 123456A for the link to make Jam. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennis Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Looks like Darwin's Barberry Berberis. I think you could be right here, I was struggling to think what they reminded me of. I don't think they look as if they are edible ... just a gut feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennis Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Berberis Darwinii birds love the berries you can make jam with them http://www.hedging.co.uk/acatalog/product_45735.html So they are edible, after all. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esme Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 do me a favour though, before you rush off and make jam, just make absolutely sure they are what you think they are, take a sample with berries and leaves to a garden centre and get the gardener there to identify them you'll probably be ok but I don't want to read about you in the paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
