Anyone know what these are and can I eat them

I live on an old country estate (don't own it unfortunately) and these plants grow wild in the woods and now at the bottom of my front garden. They look similar to raspberry's and grow to about 6 or 7 feet tall, the fruit is a little bit bigger than a rasp and more pointed and is orange in colour. I have looked on google but to no avail. I thought about trying feeding them to my wife first but she said no. Hope someone can help cos they look as though they would make good jam.

Cheers

hi slinky
I made a spelling mistake when trying to upload the photos and now it won't let me put them on at all.

Just put a link on as to where the pics are.

 

:D:eek::D lol!

I know the survival expert's way to test something to see if it's edible, is to take a lick first. If there's no reaction after about 20mins, take a tiny nibble, if after a further 20 mins or so there's sill no reaction, try a little more, and so on, until you're quite happy the thing isn't going to kill you.

I tried this out in a friend's garden I was working in. I only took a lick - and quickly spat the revolting tate out my mouth - just as well, cos it was woody nightshade!!! I felt really unwell for several days after, but have made a full recovery ! (Interestingly the only thing to shift the discomfort was feverfew!)

Sounds like they could be some kind of logan berry type of thing (not up on my berries), though is this not quite early for berries???

Best of luck!

 

First of all thanks Terrier I don't know what I did wrong on photobucket but I know what to do now.
Hi Jarbax Thanks for the help I'll make sure I only give her a small amount to start with lol. There are no berries on the plants at the moment they fruit about the same time as rasps. The reason I'm unsure what they are is that the estate was owned in the 1800s by a man who had seeds and trees sent to him from all over the world.

I think they are either Tayberries or Loganberries.
