    Hello, I am new to gardening and I have a number of plants, trees, vines etc fruiting at the moment which I cannot identify. :cnfs:

    I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me identify them. I've posted pictures to my Flickr page. Could you take a look?

    You could reply here or post a comment on flickr.

    Many many thanks in advance.

    Bitsy.

    Wow bitsy, what a wonderful variety of fruit! Unfortunately, it is very difficult to identify varieties of apples and plums by photographs alone. I must say though, the plum in Plant C looks mouthwatering.

    I will have a shot at some of the others:

    Plant A looks like it could be a rose of some sort, but the hips in the later pic are black which I have never come across before. Very unusual.

    Plants G, E and F looks very like redcurrants, blackcurranrts and whitecurrants, but they are not normally vines, though I suppose they could be trained as such.

    Plant D looks like the berries on honeysuckle.

    Are these things that you have planted or have you 'inherited' them?

    Thanks for the responses so far!

    All these are inherited. We moved into our house in May and these fruits/berries etc have come up over the past couple of months. We're clearing space and learning what to keep etc. We have blackcurrants too - though not enough for a 'crop'.

    Looking again at the pic of Plant D, I think that I got it wrong with honeysuckle and that seedstotal is spot on with hypericum.

    Claire, please stop doing yourself down with your id-ing of plants, you get them right quite a lot, at least as good (and bad) as the rest of us on here. :gnthb: :)
