    Can anyone ID this bush. We see it every year and have never managed to find out what it is. It doesn't figure in my book of Greek trees and shrubs. The bush is now about 1.5m tall the fruits are about the size of small grapes.

        I agree as we have it here also. They grow to several meters tall and are very attractive.

          Very many thanks folks!!:love30:
          I knew someone on GC would come up with the answer. I'll now be able to tell the lady in whose garden the bush is growing just what she's got growing :dbgrtmb:
