Its a cornelian cherry its not really a cherry at all it's a dogwood, cornus mas this one is called jolico. I can send you some seeds or try and/or graft it. Its astringent but sweet I reckon you could make something really good with it

Wow I never knew there was an edible dogwood, got itched cutting one back and have avoided them ever since! Sweet and tart sounds perfect for a jelly. It strikes me as an easy plant to take cuttings from, they would love some in the harvest hedgerows at the farm 🤝

Yeah a would be good as a jelly. I will layer it then and hopefully it will take.

Looking this up it showed me barberry underneath and I thought hang in a minutes that looks a lot like mahonia 😅

😆 to be fair the berberis darwini can look a bit similar... if you only look at the fruit 😁. Have you ever made anything with those two?

You mean it's not barberry?!

Not yet managed to find a bush that had enough fruit to be worthwhile

Yeah that's an issue, you aren't likely to find them in the wild.
